What is a URL Slug?
A "slug" is the part of a URL that identifies a particular page on a website in an easy-to-read form. For example, in the URL https://example.com/my-blog-post, the slug is my-blog-post.
Why Use This Tool?
Search Engines like Google prefer URLs that are clean, readable, and contain keywords. If your title is "How & Why to Use 100% Free Tools!", a bad URL would look like /how-&-why-to-use-100%-free-tools!.
Our tool automatically removes special characters, converts text to lowercase, and replaces spaces with hyphens to create a perfect SEO slug: how-why-to-use-100-free-tools.
Best Practices for Slugs
- Keep it short: Remove unnecessary words like "and", "the", "a".
- Use hyphens: Google treats hyphens (-) as space separators. Do not use underscores (_).
- Lowercase only: Avoid mixing capital letters in URLs.
