About URL Slug Generator
A URL slug is the human-readable part of a web address that identifies a specific page. For example, in https://example.com/blog/how-to-bake-bread, the slug is how-to-bake-bread. Well-crafted slugs improve SEO, are easier to share, and help users understand what a page is about before clicking.
URL Slug Generator converts any raw title or phrase into a clean, URL-safe slug — with support for batch conversion, multiple separator styles, stop word removal, and number stripping.
How to Use URL Slug Generator?
- Type or paste your text (one title per line for batch mode) into the input box.
- Choose your separator style (hyphens or underscores).
- Optionally enable Remove stop words or Remove numbers.
- Click Generate to produce the slugs.
- Copy the result with the Copy to Clipboard button.
Options Explained
- Hyphens (-) — The most widely used slug format, recommended by Google for SEO.
- Underscores (_) — Preferred in some programming and file naming conventions.
- Remove stop words — Strips common filler words like "a", "the", "and", "or" to produce shorter, more focused slugs.
- Remove numbers — Removes all numeric characters from the slug.
SEO Best Practices for Slugs
- Keep slugs short — Aim for 3–5 meaningful words.
- Use hyphens, not underscores — Google treats hyphens as word separators; underscores are treated as connectors.
- Use lowercase — Always lowercase for consistency and to avoid duplicate URL issues.
- Avoid stop words — Words like "the" and "a" add length without SEO value.
- Be descriptive — Your slug should reflect the page content clearly.
