Frequently Asked Questions

What is a URL slug?
A slug is the URL-friendly version of a title or name. For example, the title "How to Generate URL Slugs" becomes "how-to-generate-url-slugs". Slugs appear after the domain in URLs and should be short, descriptive, and lowercase.
Why do slugs matter for SEO?
Search engines use URL slugs as a ranking signal. A descriptive slug like /css-grid-guide ranks better than /page?id=42. Good slugs also improve click-through rates because users can see what the page is about before clicking.
How does it handle accented characters?
The tool transliterates accented characters to their ASCII equivalents — for example, cafe becomes cafe, uber becomes uber, nino becomes nino. This ensures URLs work correctly across all browsers and systems.
