Tool guide
What is a URL Slug?
A URL slug is the readable part of a webpage URL that describes the page content. Clean slugs help users and search engines understand the topic of a page.
SEO slug best practices
A clean slug helps both readers and search engines understand a page before they even open it. Follow these guidelines to get slugs that look professional and support your SEO:
- Keep it short, ideally three to five words, and put the main keyword near the front.
- Use lowercase letters only to avoid duplicate-URL issues on case-sensitive servers.
- Separate words with hyphens, not underscores or spaces, since Google reads hyphens as word breaks.
- Drop filler words like "a", "the", and "and" when they add no meaning.
- Strip punctuation, symbols, and accented characters so the URL stays clean and safe to share.
- Avoid dates or numbers you may want to change later, so the slug can stay stable over time.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What makes a good URL slug?
A good slug is short, readable, lowercase, and includes the main keyword naturally.
Should I use spaces in URLs?
No, use hyphens instead of spaces for cleaner URLs.
Can this tool help SEO?
Yes, clean and descriptive slugs can improve readability and SEO clarity.
Does it handle accented characters and symbols?
Yes. The converter strips or transliterates accents, punctuation, and special symbols so your slug stays clean and URL-safe.
Will changing a slug affect my existing SEO?
It can. If a page is already indexed, set up a 301 redirect from the old URL to the new slug so you keep your rankings and inbound links.
Is my text sent to a server?
No. The slug is generated right in your browser, so your titles and drafts are never uploaded, saved, or tracked.
