Slug Generator
Turn any article title into a clean, SEO-friendly URL slug.
Why does a clean URL slug matter for SEO?
A URL slug is the last part of your page address — everything after the domain name. A clean slug (short, descriptive, using relevant keywords) is easier for people to read and easier for Google to understand than a URL full of numeric IDs or random parameters. Slugs also show up in search results and shared links, so they shape the first impression before someone even clicks.
Frequently asked
Questions about the Slug Generator
Should I use a hyphen (-) or an underscore (_)?
Google explicitly recommends hyphens. Google reads a hyphen as a word separator, while an underscore is treated as joining the words into one single token.
Does the slug need to contain my main keyword?
It helps, but don't force it — a natural, descriptive slug beats one stuffed with keywords.
Is it safe to change the slug of an already-published article?
You can, but you must set up a 301 redirect from the old slug to the new one. Otherwise you'll lose existing backlinks and any traffic already indexed to the old URL.
What's the ideal slug length?
Ideally under 60 characters — enough to represent the page without rambling. An overly long slug tends to get cut off when shared on social media.
