Frequently Asked Questions
What is a URL slug?
A URL slug is the part of a URL that identifies a specific page in a human-readable format. For example, in 'example.com/blog/my-awesome-post', the slug is 'my-awesome-post'. Good slugs are lowercase, use hyphens to separate words, and contain only letters, numbers, and hyphens.
Why are clean URL slugs important for SEO?
Clean URL slugs help search engines understand your page content, improve click-through rates because users can read and understand the URL, and make URLs easier to share. Google recommends using descriptive, simple URLs with relevant keywords rather than long strings of numbers or parameters.
Should I use hyphens or underscores in URLs?
Google recommends using hyphens (-) rather than underscores (_) in URLs. Google treats hyphens as word separators, so 'my-page' is read as 'my page', while 'my_page' may be read as 'mypage'. Hyphens are the standard convention for SEO-friendly URLs.
How does this tool handle special characters and accents?
The tool transliterates common accented characters to their ASCII equivalents (e.g., 'e' for 'e-acute', 'u' for 'u-umlaut'), removes all non-alphanumeric characters except the chosen separator, collapses multiple separators into one, and trims separators from the start and end of the slug.
