Frequently Asked Questions
A slug is the part of a URL that identifies a specific page in a human-readable form. For example, in '/blog/my-first-post', 'my-first-post' is the slug.
Clean, descriptive slugs containing relevant keywords help search engines understand your page content and can improve your ranking for those keywords.
Yes, the tool strips diacritics (like accents) and transliterates common non-ASCII characters into their closest ASCII equivalents.
Special characters are removed, accented characters are transliterated (é→e, ü→u), spaces become hyphens, and the result is lowercased. Multiple hyphens are collapsed into one.
Keep slugs under 50-60 characters. Use 3-5 descriptive keywords. Avoid stop words (the, a, an, is) unless they're essential for meaning.
Generally no — dateless slugs are evergreen and can be updated without changing the URL. Use dates only for time-sensitive content like news articles.
While possible, Google treats hyphens as word separators but doesn't do the same for underscores. Use hyphens for better SEO.
