Frequently Asked Questions
What is a URL slug?
A slug is the part of a URL that identifies a specific page in a human-readable format. For example, in /blog/my-first-post, the slug is 'my-first-post'. Good slugs are short, descriptive, and use only lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens.
How does the tool handle special characters?
Special characters like @, #, and & are removed. Accented characters like e with accent are transliterated to their ASCII equivalents. Spaces are replaced with hyphens, and consecutive hyphens are collapsed to one.
Why are slugs important for SEO?
Search engines use URL slugs to understand page content. Clean, descriptive slugs that include relevant keywords can improve search rankings and make links more clickable when shared on social media.
