URL slug generator
Turn a title into a clean URL slug, like "my-great-article".
What makes a good slug?
- Short and readable: 3 to 6 meaningful words.
- Lowercase, with hyphens between words. Google treats hyphens as word separators but underscores as joiners.
- No accents, emoji or punctuation. Accented letters are converted to plain ones, so "Café crème" becomes "cafe-creme".
- Stable: changing a published slug breaks links unless you add a redirect.
Questions
Should I remove stop words like "the" and "and"?
It's optional. Removing them makes slugs shorter; keep them if the slug reads badly without them.
Hyphens or underscores?
Hyphens. Search engines treat them as spaces between words.
