What is a URL Slug?

A URL slug is the part of a web address that identifies a specific page in a human-readable format. For example, in the URL example.com/blog/how-to-build-a-website, the slug is how-to-build-a-website. Slugs are lowercase, use hyphens instead of spaces, and contain no special characters.

A well-crafted slug is important for both SEO and user experience. Search engines use the slug to understand the topic of your page, and clean slugs are easier for visitors to read and remember.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best separator for a URL slug?

Google officially recommends using hyphens ( - ) as word separators in URLs. Hyphens are treated as word separators by search engines, while underscores are not. For best SEO results, always use hyphens.

What are stop words and should I remove them?

Stop words are common filler words like "a", "the", "in", "of", "to", "and" etc. Removing them makes your slug shorter and more keyword-focused. For example, "how-to-build-a-website" becomes "build-website". This is optional and depends on your preference.

Does it support non-English characters?

Yes, the tool converts common accented characters (é, ü, ñ, etc.) to their ASCII equivalents and removes any remaining special characters that are not valid in URLs.

Can I generate slugs for multiple titles at once?

Currently the tool generates one slug at a time. Enter your title, copy the slug, then clear and enter the next title.

Is this tool free to use?

Yes, 100% free. No signup, no installation, no limits. Use it as many times as you want.
