Frequently asked questions
- What is a URL slug?
- A slug is the human-readable part of a URL after the domain — like "my-blog-post" in /blog/my-blog-post. It tells users and search engines what the page is about.
- How do I create an SEO-friendly slug?
- Use lowercase, separate words with hyphens, keep it under 60 characters, and include your main keyword. This tool does all of that automatically.
- Should slugs include stop words like "the" and "and"?
- Usually no — they add length without SEO value. Toggle "Remove stop words" to strip them automatically.
- How long should a slug be?
- Aim for 3–5 words and under 60 characters. Google can display longer slugs, but shorter ones are easier to read and share.
- How do I remove special characters from a slug?
- The slug generator removes special characters automatically. Quotes, brackets, punctuation and emojis all disappear; letters, numbers and hyphens remain.
- How do I convert spaces to hyphens?
- Spaces are converted to single hyphens automatically. Multiple consecutive spaces collapse to one hyphen.
- Can I generate slugs in bulk?
- Yes — paste multiple lines and each line becomes its own slug. Useful for batch-renaming blog posts or products.
- Should I use underscores or hyphens?
- Hyphens. Google treats hyphens as word separators in URLs but underscores as part of the word, so hyphens give better keyword matching.
- Do slugs affect SEO?
- Yes, modestly. A clear keyword-bearing slug helps users and search engines understand the page, and shorter slugs get more click-through.
- How do I handle non-English characters (accents)?
- The tool folds accents to their base letters (é → e, ñ → n, ü → u). Non-Latin scripts (Cyrillic, Greek, CJK) are stripped — transliterate them first if you need them in the slug.
