Frequently Asked Questions

What is a URL slug?

A slug is the part of a URL that identifies a page in a readable way, e.g. “best-coffee-recipes” in example.com/best-coffee-recipes. Clean slugs are good for SEO and sharing.

How does the slug generator work?

It converts your title to lowercase, removes accents and special characters, and joins the remaining words with hyphens (or underscores). The slug updates live as you type.

Does it handle accented characters?

Yes. Accented letters like café or naïve are converted to their closest plain form (cafe, naive) so the slug stays URL-safe.

Should a slug use hyphens or underscores?

Google recommends hyphens to separate words in URLs, as they are treated as word breaks. Underscores are more common in code and file names. This tool supports both.

How long should a URL slug be?

Keep slugs short and descriptive — typically three to six words. Include the main keyword and drop filler words like 'the' and 'and' where possible.
