URL Slug Generator
Turn a title into a clean, readable URL slug — lowercase, hyphenated, with accents and symbols stripped out. Copy it straight into your CMS.
Accented characters are transliterated (á → a), symbols are dropped, and spaces become your chosen separator. Google treats hyphens as word separators and underscores as joiners — use hyphens for slugs. Keep them short and descriptive; there's no need to cram every word in.
Small detail, lasting impact
A URL slug is one of the few SEO choices that's hard to change later — once a page is indexed and linked, editing the slug means setting up redirects. Getting it right the first time is worth the ten seconds: clean, keyword-relevant, and readable enough that someone could guess what the page is about from the link alone.
Once your slug is set, generate the matching canonical tag and, if you ever do change it, build the 301 redirect so you don't lose the ranking.
Frequently asked questions
What makes a good URL slug?
Short, lowercase, descriptive, and hyphen-separated. Include the main keyword, drop filler, and avoid dates or IDs you might want to change later. A slug like /fix-core-web-vitals beats /post?id=1423 for both users and search engines.
Hyphens or underscores?
Hyphens. Google treats a hyphen as a word separator, so "core-web-vitals" reads as three words, while "core_web_vitals" reads as one joined token. Always use hyphens in URLs.
Should I remove stop-words?
Optional. Removing words like "the", "a", and "of" makes slugs shorter and keyword-focused, which many prefer. But keep them when dropping them would make the slug read awkwardly or change the meaning. Readability first.
What happens to accents and symbols?
Accented letters are transliterated to their closest ASCII form (é → e), and symbols and punctuation are removed. This keeps the URL clean and avoids percent-encoding that makes links ugly and hard to share.
