Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a URL slug?
A URL slug is the part of a URL that identifies a particular page in a human-readable format. For example, in "example.com/blog/url-slug-generator", the slug is "url-slug-generator". It helps users and search engines understand what the page is about.
Why are SEO-friendly slugs important?
SEO-friendly slugs improve search engine rankings by making URLs more readable and descriptive. They help search engines understand your content better and make it easier for users to remember and share your links. Clean slugs with relevant keywords can boost your page visibility.
What characters should I avoid in URL slugs?
Avoid special characters like #, %, &, @, spaces, and non-ASCII characters. Stick to lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens. Our tool automatically handles these conversions to create clean, web-safe slugs.
Should I use hyphens or underscores in URL slugs?
Use hyphens (-) instead of underscores (_). Search engines like Google treat hyphens as word separators, which helps with SEO. Underscores are treated as word connectors, which can hurt your search rankings.
Is my data processed securely?
Yes! All slug generation happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. No data is sent to any server, ensuring complete privacy and security. Your text never leaves your device.
Can I customize the separator character?
Absolutely! You can choose between hyphens (-), underscores (_), or dots (.) as your separator. Hyphens are recommended for SEO purposes.
