What Is a URL Slug and Why Does It Matter for SEO?
A URL slug is the human-readable identifier at the end of a web address. For a blog post titled "How to Build a Modern Web App", the ideal slug would be how-to-build-a-modern-web-app. Search engines use slugs to understand page content, and clean slugs directly improve click-through rates in search results.
Google has explicitly recommended using hyphens over underscores in URLs, keeping slugs short and descriptive, and avoiding unnecessary parameters or stop words. Our generator follows all of these best practices automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a URL slug?
A URL slug is the part of a web address that identifies a specific page in a human-readable form. For example, in "example.com/blog/my-first-post", the slug is "my-first-post". It should be short, descriptive, and use only lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens.
Why should slugs use hyphens instead of spaces?
Spaces in URLs are encoded as "%20" which looks ugly and can break in some systems. Hyphens are the standard separator recommended by Google and all major search engines. They are readable, SEO-friendly, and universally compatible.
Does this tool handle special characters?
Yes — it automatically converts accented characters (é → e, ü → ue, ñ → n), replaces symbols like & with "and", and strips characters that are not URL-safe. This ensures your slug works correctly in all browsers and systems.
What are stopwords and should I remove them?
Stopwords are common words like "a", "the", "and", "or", "in" that add little meaning to a URL. Removing them makes slugs shorter and more keyword-focused. For example, "the best tools for the web" becomes "best-tools-web". This is optional and depends on your preference.
What is the ideal slug length for SEO?
Google recommends keeping URLs short and descriptive. Aim for 3–5 meaningful words. Very long slugs get truncated in search results. Use the Max Length option to automatically cap your slug at a specific character count.
Can I use this for WordPress, Shopify or other CMS?
Yes — the output is a clean slug compatible with WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Ghost, and any other CMS. Just copy the hyphen variant and paste it into the "Slug" or "Permalink" field in your CMS.
What is the difference between slug separators?
Hyphens are best for URLs and SEO (blog posts, pages). Underscores are common in filenames and Python/database conventions. Dots are used in domain-style naming. No separator creates a single concatenated string used in some coding conventions.
Is my text stored or sent anywhere?
No — all slug generation happens instantly in your browser with JavaScript. Nothing is sent to any server. Your text stays completely private.
