URL Slug Best Practices
Use hyphens
Google treats hyphens as word separators, making your URLs more SEO-friendly
Keep it short
Aim for 3-5 words. Shorter slugs are easier to read and share
Use lowercase
URLs are case-sensitive on most servers. Lowercase avoids duplicate content issues
Include keywords
Put your target keyword in the slug for better search engine visibility
Remove stop words
Words like 'the', 'and', 'of' add length without SEO value
Avoid special characters
Stick to alphanumeric characters and hyphens for maximum compatibility

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a URL slug?
A URL slug is the part of a web address that identifies a specific page in a human-readable form. For example, in “example.com/blog/my-first-post”, the slug is “my-first-post”. Good slugs are lowercase, use hyphens as separators, and contain only relevant keywords.
Should I use hyphens or underscores in URL slugs?
Hyphens (-) are strongly recommended over underscores (_) for URL slugs. Google treats hyphens as word separators but treats underscores as word joiners. So “my-keyword” is read as two words while “my_keyword” is read as one. Hyphens are the standard convention for URLs and better for SEO.
Should I remove stop words from slugs?
Removing common stop words like “the”, “and”, “of”, and “in” can make slugs shorter and more focused on keywords. For example, “the-ultimate-guide-to-seo” becomes “ultimate-guide-seo”. However, sometimes stop words improve readability — use your judgment based on the context.
Is my text data safe?
Yes. All slug generation happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. No text is sent to any server. You can safely convert confidential titles and content.
