What is a URL slug?
A URL slug is the exact address of a specific page on your website. It is the part of the URL that explains the page's content.
Why should I use hyphens instead of underscores?
Google and most search engines recommend using hyphens (-) rather than underscores (_) in URLs. Hyphens are treated as space characters.
What are 'stop words' and should I remove them?
Stop words are common words like 'a', 'an', 'the', 'and'. Removing them makes your URLs shorter and more concise, which can be beneficial for SEO.
Does this tool handle accented characters?
Yes! The tool automatically normalizes accented characters (like é, à, ö) into their base characters (e, a, o) to ensure your URL is safe.
Is my data secure?
Absolutely. All processing happens entirely within your browser. No data is sent to our servers.
Can I generate slugs programmatically?
This tool is designed for manual use. However, the logic we use is standard and can be implemented in most programming languages.
What happens to special characters like !, @, or #?
Special characters and punctuation are automatically removed from the output.
Is there a limit to how much text I can convert?
There is no strict limit, but URLs should generally be kept under 100 characters for optimal user experience and SEO.
Why are consecutive separators removed?
If your input has multiple spaces or a mix of spaces and special characters, it could result in multiple hyphens. Our tool cleans this up.
Does this work on mobile devices?
Yes! Our URL Slug Generator is fully responsive and works perfectly on smartphones and tablets.
