What Is a Permalink?

A permalink (permanent link) is a URL that is intended to remain unchanged for many years, providing a lasting reference to a particular web page or blog post. Unlike dynamic URLs with query parameters, permalinks are clean, readable, and search-engine-friendly.

Permalink Structure Best Practices

• Use descriptive words that reflect the page content
• Keep URLs short and readable (under 60 characters)
• Use hyphens to separate words, not underscores
• Avoid dates in permalinks unless content is time-sensitive
• Remove stop words (a, the, is, and) to keep it concise
• Use lowercase letters only

Permalink Formats by Platform

• WordPress: Settings → Permalinks → Post name (/%postname%/)
• Ghost: Automatically generates from title
• Hugo: Configurable via permalinks in config
• Next.js: File-based routing with custom slugs
