URL Slug Generator
? Frequently Asked Questions
What is a URL slug?
A URL slug is the part of a URL after the domain name, used for page titles or post names. For example, in 'example.com/my-blog-post', 'my-blog-post' is the slug.
How does the generator create SEO-friendly slugs?
The generator converts text to lowercase, replaces spaces with hyphens, removes special characters, eliminates stop words (optionally), and truncates to an ideal length. This creates clean, readable URLs that search engines prefer.
Why are hyphens better than underscores?
Google treats hyphens as word separators but underscores as word connectors. 'my-blog-post' is read as three separate words while 'my_blog_post' is treated as one, making hyphens better for SEO.
Can it handle non-English characters?
Yes, the generator can transliterate accented characters (é→e, ñ→n) and handle Unicode text. This ensures international content gets clean, compatible URL slugs that work across all systems.
What's the ideal slug length?
Most experts recommend keeping slugs under 50-60 characters for best SEO results and readability. The tool can automatically truncate longer titles while preserving full words and maintaining meaning.
