Frequently Asked Questions
What is a URL Slug?
A slug is the user-readable part of a URL address that identifies a specific page on a website (e.g. `/my-post-title`).
Why are clean slugs important for SEO?
Slugs containing relevant keywords improve search engine indexing and provide users with a clear idea of what the page contains.
What characters are removed during slug generation?
All punctuation, symbols, spaces, and special characters are removed or replaced with hyphens.
Can I keep uppercase characters in slugs?
Standard practice is to convert all characters to lowercase, as search engines prefer lowercase URLs and it prevents duplicate content issues.
Does the tool support non-English accents?
Yes. The generator normalizes accented characters (like converting `é` to `e`) to maintain URL compatibility.
Is my input string uploaded to a server?
No. Slug conversions happen locally in your web browser using JavaScript.
What is the best separator for slugs?
Hyphens `-` are the standard separator recommended by Google. Underscores `_` should be avoided.
Is there a character length limit for URL slugs?
Keep slugs under 70-80 characters for optimal readability and search engine results display.
