Google recommends hyphens over underscores for readability, so hyphenated slugs stay the safest default for public URLs.
Keep slugs short and specific. Around 3 to 5 meaningful words usually gives the best balance between clarity and ranking intent.
Avoid special characters and unnecessary numbers unless they are required for clarity, versioning, or exact content matching.
