About the URL Slug Generator
A good slug is short, readable and made of the words people would actually search for. Search engines handle hyphens as word separators more reliably than underscores, and non-ASCII characters get percent-encoded into unreadable URLs when shared. This generator handles both, and optionally drops filler words so the slug stays focused on the terms that matter.
Frequently asked questions
Should URLs use hyphens or underscores?
Hyphens. Search engines treat them as word separators; underscores are read as joining characters.
How long should a URL slug be?
Short enough to read at a glance — three to five meaningful words is a good target.
What happens to accented and non-Latin characters?
They are transliterated to plain ASCII, which keeps the URL readable when it is copied or shared.
Should a URL slug use hyphens or underscores?
Hyphens. Search engines treat a hyphen as a word separator and an underscore as a word joiner, so 'best-running-shoes' reads as three words while 'best_running_shoes' can read as one. Keep slugs lowercase, short, and free of stop words where it still reads naturally.
