About the Slug Generator
A URL slug is the human-readable part of a URL that identifies a page. Clean slugs like /how-to-brew-coffee rank better and get more clicks than messy ones like /p=123&cat=5. This generator converts any title into a clean, lowercase, hyphen-separated slug and lets you customize the separator and stop-word handling.
How to use the URL Slug Generator
- 1Type or paste your page title into the input field. The slug generates instantly below.
- 2Choose a separator: hyphen (recommended for SEO) or underscore.
- 3Toggle stop-word removal to strip words like the, a, and from that add no SEO value.
- 4Edit the slug directly in the output field if you want to fine-tune it, then copy it.
Best practices
- Use hyphens as separators, not underscores. Google treats hyphens as word separators but underscores as part of the word.
- Keep slugs short — 3 to 5 words is ideal. Long slugs get truncated in search results and look spammy.
- Remove stop words like the, a, and, of. They add length without adding meaning.
- Use lowercase letters only. Mixed case URLs can cause duplicate-content issues on some servers.
- Avoid changing slugs after publishing. If you must, set up a 301 redirect from the old URL to the new one.
Need bulk URL management?
A redirect manager can handle slug changes across thousands of URLs with automatic 301 redirects, so you never lose link equity when restructuring.
