About this tool
A slug is the URL-safe part of a web address that identifies a specific page. Clean slugs use only lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens. They improve readability, shareability, and search engine optimization. A post titled "How to Make Sourdough Bread (Beginner's Guide!)" becomes "how-to-make-sourdough-bread-beginners-guide" as a slug.
Frequently asked questions
Should I use hyphens or underscores in slugs?
Hyphens are preferred for SEO. Google treats hyphens as word separators in URLs, which helps search engines understand the individual words in the slug. Underscores are treated as word joiners, meaning "bread_making" is read as one word rather than two. For most web content, hyphens are the right choice.
