Frequently Asked Questions
What is a slug and why do I need it?
A slug is the URL-friendly version of a title. "my-blog-post" instead of "My Blog Post!". It's essential for SEO, readability, and preventing broken links with special characters.
Hyphen or underscore - which is better?
Google recommends hyphens (-) as word separators. Underscores (_) can be confused by search engines. Always use hyphens for SEO.
Should I remove stop words like "a", "the"?
For short URLs, yes. But keep them if removing changes meaning. "The Beatles" → "beatles" (OK) vs "A to Z Guide" → "z-guide" (confusing).
What characters are removed?
Special characters !@#$%^&*()+=[]{}|\:;"'<>,.?/~` are removed or replaced. Accented letters become plain (é→e). Only a-z, 0-9, and hyphens remain.
Is there a length limit for slugs?
Best practice is under 60 characters. Our tool lets you set custom limits. Shorter slugs are better for sharing and SEO.
