Frequently Asked Questions
What is a URL slug?
A URL slug is the part of a web address that identifies a page in a human-readable way. For example, in "example.com/blog/my-first-post" the slug is "my-first-post".
Why should I use slugs in my URLs?
Slugs make URLs easier to read, share and remember. Search engines also prefer descriptive URLs, which can improve your SEO ranking.
Does this tool handle non-English characters?
Yes. When the "Transliterate accents" option is enabled, accented and special characters (e.g. e with accent, u with umlaut, n with tilde) are converted to their closest ASCII equivalents.
Is my text stored or uploaded?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser. Your text never leaves your device.
What is the difference between hyphens and underscores in slugs?
Google treats hyphens as word separators but underscores are not. For SEO, hyphens are generally recommended. Underscores are common in file names and some programming conventions.
