Slug Generator

What makes a good URL slug?

• Short and readable: 3 to 5 words is usually enough.
• Lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens only.
• Contains the main keyword of the page.
• No dates or numbers that will go out of date, unless they matter.

Should I remove stop words?

Words like “a”, “the” and “of” add length without adding meaning. Removing them keeps URLs short, but keep them when the slug would become unclear without them.

Frequently asked questions

Hyphens or underscores?

Use hyphens. Google treats hyphens as word separators, while underscores join words together.

Should I change the slug of an old page?

Only if there is a strong reason. If you do, add a 301 redirect from the old URL so you keep its rankings and links.

Can slugs contain Hindi or other languages?

Yes, browsers and Google support them, but English slugs are easier to share and type. Use the option to keep non-English letters if you need them.
