What this tool is for
A slug is the readable part of a URL after the domain. Good ones are short, lowercase, hyphenated and free of accents and punctuation, because those get percent-encoded into noise. Paste a title and get a slug that is safe to use in a URL and readable in a search result.
How to use it
- Paste the title or headline.
- Choose the separator (hyphen is the safe default for SEO) and whether to drop common stop words.
- Copy the slug into your CMS.
Frequently asked questions
Hyphens or underscores?
Hyphens. Google treats a hyphen as a word separator and an underscore as a joiner, so my_blog_post reads as one token while my-blog-post reads as three words.
What happens to accented letters?
They are transliterated to their closest ASCII form, so "Crème Brûlée" becomes creme-brulee rather than a string of percent escapes.
Should I remove stop words?
Only when the slug gets long. Removing them shortens the URL, but a slug that reads oddly helps nobody. Keep it grammatical.
