Frequently Asked Questions
What is a URL slug?
A URL slug is the part of a web address that identifies a particular page in a human-readable format. For example, in "example.com/blog/my-first-post", "my-first-post" is the slug. Good slugs are concise, descriptive, and SEO-friendly.
Does this tool handle accented characters?
Yes. The slug generator transliterates common accented and special characters from European languages. For example, "\u00e9" becomes "e", "\u00f1" becomes "n", "\u00fc" becomes "u", and "\u00df" becomes "ss". This ensures your slugs remain compatible with all URLs.
Should I use hyphens or underscores?
Hyphens (-) are generally recommended for SEO. Google treats hyphens as word separators but treats underscores as word joiners. So "my-blog-post" is interpreted as three separate words, while "my_blog_post" may be treated as a single term.
Why should I set a maximum slug length?
Long slugs can be unwieldy and may not display well in search results or when shared. A good practice is to keep slugs between 3-5 words (typically 50-80 characters). The tool trims at word boundaries to avoid cutting words in half.
Can I convert multiple titles at once?
Yes. Switch to "Bulk Mode" and enter one title per line. The tool will generate slugs for all titles simultaneously. You can copy individual slugs or all of them at once.
