Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a URL slug?
- A slug is the human-readable part of a URL after the domain. Good slugs are short, lowercase, and hyphen-separated.
- Should I use hyphens or underscores in slugs?
- Google recommends hyphens. They are treated as word separators, which improves keyword recognition in search results.
- Does it handle accented characters?
- Yes. Accented letters are normalized to their ASCII equivalent (é → e) and non-URL-safe characters are removed.
- How long should a URL slug be?
- Keep slugs under 60 characters. Shorter slugs are easier to share, remember, and rank well in search. Remove stop words (a, the, and, of) that add length without SEO value.
- Is the slug generator free?
- Yes, free with no account required. Generate as many slugs as you need.
