About the Slug Generator
A slug is the readable part of a URL that identifies a page, such as morning-routine-tips in
example.com/blog/morning-routine-tips. Good slugs are short, lowercase, and easy to read.
They help people understand what a page is about before they click, and they avoid the messy encoded
characters that appear when a title contains spaces, punctuation, or accents.
This generator normalises any title into a clean slug. It trims leading and trailing whitespace, removes punctuation, replaces spaces with your chosen separator, and optionally lowercases the result. With accent stripping enabled, characters such as “é”, “ü”, and “ñ” are converted to their closest Latin equivalents, and special letters such as “ß” and “ø” are expanded. The stop-word option removes small filler words like “the”, “and”, “of”, and “to”, which often makes a slug shorter and more focused on the topic.
Choosing a separator
Hyphens are the most common separator on the web because search engines treat them as word boundaries. Underscores are sometimes used in file names or specific content systems. Whichever you choose, keep it consistent across your site. The URL preview shows how the slug would look in a typical blog path, so you can sanity-check the result before pasting it into your CMS.
Frequently asked questions
Should I remove stop words from every slug?
Not always. Removing filler words shortens a slug, but a phrase like “to-be-or-not-to-be” loses its meaning without them. Use the option for ordinary article titles and turn it off for titles where small words matter.
What happens to non-Latin text?
Letters from other scripts are preserved rather than transliterated. If your CMS requires ASCII-only slugs, you may need a separate transliteration step.
Can I change the slug later?
You can, but changing a published URL can break links and reduce search visibility. Set up a redirect if you rename a live page.
