URL Slug Generator
The URL Slug Generator turns any title into a clean, lowercase, hyphenated, SEO-friendly URL slug - readable for humans and search engines alike.
What makes a good slug
A slug is the readable part of a URL after the domain. Good slugs are lowercase, use hyphens between words, drop stop words and special characters, and stay short and descriptive - /best-running-shoes beats /p?id=48293. The generator strips accents, spaces, and punctuation and outputs a tidy slug instantly.
Why it helps SEO and users
Clean slugs are easier to read, share, and remember, and the keywords in them give search engines a small relevance signal. Set slugs when you publish and avoid changing them later, since changing a URL breaks links unless you redirect. Need redirects? See the Htaccess Redirect Generator.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a URL slug?
It is the human-readable part of a URL that identifies a page, such as "about-us" in yoursite.com/about-us.
Why should slugs use hyphens, not underscores?
Search engines treat hyphens as word separators but underscores as joiners, so hyphens make the words in a slug distinct.
Should slugs include stop words?
Usually not. Removing words like "the" and "of" keeps slugs short and focused, though readability comes first.
Can I change a slug after publishing?
You can, but it breaks existing links unless you set up a redirect from the old URL to the new one.
