Create SEO-friendly URL slugs from titles and phrases.
The Slug Generator converts any title or phrase into a URL-friendly slug — lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only, with spaces replaced by hyphens and special characters removed. URL slugs determine the address of your blog posts, product pages, and articles. A clean, descriptive slug improves SEO (keywords in URLs are a minor ranking signal), improves click-through rate in search results, and makes links easier to share. Example: 'How to Fix WhatsApp Not Sending Messages' → 'how-to-fix-whatsapp-not-sending-messages'.
Generally remove stop words (the, a, and, of, for) to keep slugs concise. 'how-to-fix-discord-not-connecting' is better than 'how-to-fix-the-discord-not-connecting-issue'. But test both — sometimes removing words changes the meaning.
The old URL breaks for anyone who has bookmarked or linked to it, and Google has to recrawl and reindex the new URL. Always set up a 301 redirect from old slug to new slug when making this change. Without a redirect, you lose all the SEO equity built up on the old URL.
Hyphens. Google treats hyphens as word separators, so 'how-to-fix' is read as three words: how, to, fix. Underscores are treated as word joiners — 'how_to_fix' is one term. Use hyphens for SEO-friendly slugs.
