How the URL Slug Generator works
Turns a title into a clean URL slug — lowercase, hyphenated, stripped of accents and punctuation.
Text is lowercased, accented characters are folded to their ASCII equivalents, punctuation is removed, and spaces become hyphens. Repeated and trailing hyphens are collapsed.
Worked example
'How to Bake a Café Crème Cake!' becomes how-to-bake-a-cafe-creme-cake.
Things worth knowing
- Hyphens, not underscores. Search engines treat hyphens as word separators and underscores as joiners.
- Shorter slugs perform better and survive being pasted into chat and email without wrapping.
- Once a URL is published and indexed, changing it costs you the accumulated ranking unless you add a 301 redirect.
Frequently asked questions
What makes a good slug?
Short, lowercase, hyphen-separated and descriptive — it helps both users and search engines.
Should slugs include stop words?
Often you can drop small words like 'the' and 'a' to keep slugs concise.
Can slugs contain non-English characters?
Modern browsers support them, but they get percent-encoded when copied and become unreadable. Transliterating to ASCII is safer.
