The name of the webpage should be same as your keyphrase. You can use hyphen (-) instead of space and underscore (_) to separate the words. For example if your page is about search engine optimization the name of the page would be search-engine-optimization.html. All search engine treats hyphen (-) as keyword separator while some search engine do not consider underscore (_) as keyword separator. So it is wise to use hyphen in the name of the webpage. One More thing you need to take into consideration while naming any page is not to use space in the name of the webpage for example example.com/search engine optimization.html because when the page is loaded in the browser the space will converts into %20 sign. So Ideally, best way is to use hyphen to separate to keywords in the name of the webpage.
