What is a URL Slug?

A URL slug is the part of a web address that comes after the domain name and identifies a specific page. For example, in 'example.com/best-chocolate-cake-recipe', the slug is 'best-chocolate-cake-recipe'. Good URL slugs are lowercase, use hyphens instead of spaces, remove special characters and accents, and are concise yet descriptive. They're crucial for SEO because search engines like Google use them to understand page content, and they're more readable for users sharing links.

  2. The tool automatically converts to lowercase, replaces spaces with hyphens, removes special characters and accents
  3. Copy the generated slug and use it in WordPress permalinks, Shopify URLs, or your custom website
  4. For best SEO results, keep slugs between 3-5 words focusing on primary keywords
