What makes a good slug

Good slugs are short, readable, and describe the page. Lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens are the safest choice: they work in every browser and are easy to read aloud and type.

Hyphens are the standard word separator for search engines. Underscores and dots are available for systems that require them, such as some file naming conventions.

Options

Remove accents turns letters like é, ñ, and ü into e, n, and u, so links never contain encoded characters. Removing stop words drops filler such as the, a, and of, turning "The Best Guide to the Market" into best-guide-market.

Max length trims long titles at a clean point and never leaves a separator at the end. Around 50 to 80 characters keeps URLs readable in search results and when shared.

Questions about URL Slug Generator

What are URL stop words?
Stop words are filler words such as 'the', 'a', 'an', 'and', 'in', 'of' that search engines often ignore in URLs to keep links concise.
Does it support accented characters (e.g., é, ñ, ü)?
Yes, the transliteration engine converts accented Unicode characters to standard ASCII equivalents (e.g., 'café' becomes 'cafe').
Should I change an existing page's slug?
Only with a redirect from the old URL. Changing a live URL without one breaks links and loses search rankings.
Are numbers kept?
Yes. Letters and numbers are kept; punctuation and symbols are removed.
What is the best separator for SEO?
Hyphens. Search engines treat hyphens as word separators, while underscores can join words together.
