A slug is the part of a URL that identifies a specific page in a human-readable format. For example, in /blog/how-to-code, 'how-to-code' is the slug.

Why avoid special characters in slugs?

Special characters like & or ? have specific technical meanings in URLs. Using them in slugs can lead to broken links and indexation issues.

Are hyphens better than underscores?

Yes. Google and other search engines treat hyphens as word separators, making them superior for SEO compared to underscores.
