What is a URL slug?
A URL slug is the part of a web address that identifies a specific page in an easy-to-read format. For example, in "https://example.com/blog/my-first-post", "my-first-post" is the slug. Slugs are typically lowercase, use hyphens to separate words, and contain only letters, numbers, and hyphens or underscores.
Should I use hyphens or underscores?
Google recommends using hyphens (-) instead of underscores (_) in URLs. Hyphens are treated as word separators, while underscores are not. This means "best-practices" is read as two words, but "best_practices" is read as one word. For SEO purposes, hyphens are the better choice.
How long should a URL slug be?
While there's no strict limit, shorter slugs are generally better for both SEO and user experience. Aim for 3-5 words (around 50-60 characters). Longer slugs can be truncated in search results and are harder to remember and share.
Does this tool support non-English characters?
Yes! Our slug generator automatically transliterates Unicode characters to their ASCII equivalents. For example, "café" becomes "cafe", "über" becomes "uber", and Cyrillic or Greek characters are converted to their Latin alphabet equivalents. This ensures maximum compatibility across all platforms.
Is my data safe? Do you store my text?
Absolutely safe! This tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your text is never uploaded to our servers or stored anywhere. All processing happens locally on your device, ensuring complete privacy.
Can I use this for WordPress permalinks?
Yes! This tool generates slugs that are fully compatible with WordPress, Ghost, Medium, and other popular CMS platforms. You can use the generated slugs directly as permalinks or custom URLs in any content management system.
