What is a Slug?

A slug is the part of a URL that identifies a page in a human-readable form.

Example:

example.com/blog/my-article-title

A good slug improves SEO and makes links more understandable for users.

Best Practices
  • Use hyphens instead of underscores
  • Keep slugs short (3-5 words)
  • Include keywords
  • Avoid special characters
  • Use lowercase letters

From Title to URL Slug

Paste a title and get a URL-ready slug: lowercased, transliterated to Latin (Cyrillic included), special characters stripped, words joined with hyphens. Options cover the separator, a maximum length and stop-word removal for shorter slugs.

Slugs are one of the few URL decisions that hurt to change later - every rename needs a permanent redirect. The choices that matter (hyphens versus underscores, keeping or dropping stop words, how much of the title to keep) are weighed in URL slug best practices.
