Frequently asked questions
What is a URL slug?
A slug is the readable part of a URL that identifies a page, like "my-best-recipe" in example.com/my-best-recipe. Clean slugs help readers and search engines understand what a page is about.
Should I use hyphens or underscores?
Hyphens are the standard recommendation from Google. Underscores work too, but hyphens are safer for SEO and easier to read.
What are stop words?
Stop words are small filler words like "the", "and", "of" and "a". Removing them shortens URLs without losing meaning, which is a common SEO practice.
How are accents handled?
Accented characters are converted to plain letters, so "café" becomes "cafe". This keeps URLs safe in every browser.
Can I generate slugs for many titles at once?
This tool handles one title at a time for accuracy. For bulk lists, generate each slug and copy them one by one.
Is the slug generator free?
Yes, completely free with no account and no usage limits.
