A URL slug is the part of a URL that identifies a specific page in a human-readable way. Good slugs are short, descriptive, lowercase, use hyphens as separators, and contain relevant keywords. Google recommends 'simple, descriptive URLs' for better SEO performance.
How to Use
Enter text to slugify:
- Input: Type or paste any text
- Separator: Hyphen (-), underscore (_), or dot (.)
- Options: Remove stop words, limit length
Slug Best Practices
- Keep slugs under 60 characters
- Include primary keywords
- Use hyphens, not underscores (Google treats hyphens as word separators)
- Remove stop words (a, an, the, is, at, by, for)
- Avoid changing slugs after publication (breaks links)
SEO Impact
Clean URLs improve click-through rates in search results and make links more shareable. Google uses words in URLs as a minor ranking signal.
