Frequently asked questions
What is a URL slug?
A slug is the part of a URL that identifies a specific page in human-readable form. For example, in 'yawntools.com/mortgage-calculator', the slug is 'mortgage-calculator'. Slugs should be lowercase, use hyphens instead of spaces, and contain no special characters.
Should I use hyphens or underscores in my slug?
Google recommends hyphens (-) over underscores (_) for SEO. Hyphens are treated as word separators, while underscores are treated as part of the word. This tool defaults to hyphens but supports both.
What are stopwords and should I strip them?
Stopwords are common words like 'the', 'a', 'an', 'is', 'of' that add length to a slug without improving SEO. Stripping them creates shorter, cleaner slugs. Toggle this on for shorter slugs.
Why is my slug all lowercase?
URLs are case-sensitive on some servers and lowercase is the standard convention. Lowercase slugs prevent duplicate content issues and are easier to type and share.
Generate URL-friendly slugs from any text. Choose between dash (-) or underscore (_) separators, toggle lowercase, and optionally strip common English stopwords for cleaner slugs.
