A URL slug is the readable, human-friendly part of a URL after the domain, such as /tools/slug-generator. Good slugs are short, lowercase, and use hyphens between words.

Are hyphens better than underscores in URLs?

Yes. Google treats hyphens as word separators and recommends them over underscores for search-friendly URLs.

Frequently asked questions

What is a URL slug?

It's the readable part of a URL after the domain — for example /tools/slug-generator. Good slugs are short, lowercase, and hyphen-separated.

Why use hyphens instead of underscores?

Search engines treat hyphens as word separators but ignore underscores, so my-post is read as two words while my_post is read as one.

Why are accented characters removed?

URL slugs should use ASCII characters only. The tool strips accents (for example é becomes e) so slugs stay compatible across all systems and crawlers.
