Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I use hyphens instead of underscores in URLs?▾
Google search guidelines recommend hyphens (-) over underscores (_) because Google's crawler treats hyphens as word separators.
Does this handle accented characters like accents in French or Spanish?▾
Yes, accented characters (such as é, ñ, ü, ç) are automatically transliterated into their ASCII base equivalents (e, n, u, c).
