Create SEO-Friendly URL Slugs
A "slug" is the part of a URL that identifies a particular page on a website in an easy-to-read form. Our Text to Slug Converter takes any string of text—like a blog post title—and instantly converts it into a clean, valid, and SEO-friendly URL slug by removing special characters, replacing spaces with hyphens, and converting it to lowercase.
Why URL Slugs Matter for SEO
- Readability: Clean slugs tell users exactly what the page is about before they click.
- Keyword Optimization: Search engines look at URL slugs to understand the context and target keywords of the page.
- Safe Characters: Automatically strips out emojis, punctuation, and accented letters that can break web links.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a URL slug?
A URL slug is the exact address of a specific webpage. For example, in "website.com/my-post-title", the slug is "my-post-title".
Should I use hyphens or underscores in slugs?
Always use hyphens (-). Google has explicitly stated that their crawlers treat hyphens as word separators, whereas underscores (_) are treated as part of the word.
Does this tool support non-English languages?
Yes, our tool transliterates accented characters (like é to e, or ü to u) to ensure the generated slug is valid in standard ASCII web URLs.
