Frequently Asked Questions
What is a URL slug?
A URL slug is the part of a URL that identifies a specific page in a human-readable format. For example, in 'example.com/blog/how-to-code', the slug is 'how-to-code'. Slugs should be lowercase, use hyphens instead of spaces, and contain only letters, numbers, and hyphens.
Why are slugs important for SEO?
SEO-friendly slugs improve search rankings by making URLs readable and keyword-rich. Search engines use slugs to understand page content. Clean slugs (e.g., 'best-coffee-shops') rank better than messy ones (e.g., 'page?id=123') and are more likely to be clicked by users.
How does the slug generator handle special characters?
The generator removes accents/diacritics (é→e, ñ→n), strips special characters (!@#$%), converts spaces to hyphens, and lowercases everything. This ensures slugs are URL-safe and compatible with all web servers and browsers.
Can I use custom separators instead of hyphens?
Yes! Change the separator option to use underscores (_), dots (.), or any single character. However, hyphens (-) are recommended for SEO as they're treated as word separators by search engines, while underscores are not.
What does the max length option do?
Max length truncates slugs to a specified character count, useful for database constraints or keeping URLs concise. Set to 0 for unlimited length. The tool intelligently cuts at the last complete word before the limit to avoid partial words.
Can I generate slugs for multiple titles at once?
Yes! Use Batch Mode to convert multiple texts (one per line) into slugs simultaneously. Perfect for bulk blog post imports, product listings, or migrating content. Copy all or download as a text file.
