A URL slug is the part of a URL that identifies a specific page, typically using lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens instead of spaces. For example, 'My Blog Post Title' becomes 'my-blog-post-title'.

Why should I use hyphens instead of underscores in slugs?

Google recommends hyphens over underscores in URLs because search engines treat hyphens as word separators. 'my-blog-post' is interpreted as three separate words, while 'my_blog_post' may be treated as a single word, which can hurt SEO.

Does the slug converter handle special characters?

Yes, it removes diacritics from accented characters (é → e, ñ → n), strips punctuation and special characters, and replaces spaces with your chosen separator. This ensures the slug is safe for use in any URL.

Can I use underscores in slugs instead of hyphens?

Yes, this tool supports both hyphens and underscores as separators. While hyphens are preferred for SEO, underscores are commonly used in programming contexts and file names.

Is there a length limit for slugs?

There is no strict limit in this tool, but best practice recommends keeping slugs under 70 characters. Most CMS platforms accept slugs up to 200+ characters, but shorter slugs are more memorable and SEO-friendly.
