What is a slug and why does it matter?
A URL slug is the part of a URL that comes after your domain — for example, the my-best-recipe in example.com/blog/my-best-recipe. Clean, descriptive, lowercase slugs are easier to read and improve SEO because they signal page topic to search engines.
Frequently asked questions
Why are slugs important for SEO?
Clean, descriptive slugs help search engines and users understand the page topic. Short hyphenated lowercase slugs typically rank better and are easier to share.
Does the slug tool remove accents?
Yes. Diacritics like é, ñ or ü are normalised to plain ASCII letters automatically.
