Slug Best Practices
| Practice | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Use lowercase | Always use lowercase for consistency and search engine optimization |
| Use hyphens as separators | Search engines treat hyphens as word separators but not underscores |
| Keep it short | 3 to 5 words or under 60 characters is ideal |
| Include target keywords | Put important keywords early in the slug |
| Remove stop words | 'best-coffee-shops' is better than 'the-best-coffee-shops-in-town' |
| Avoid special characters | Stick to letters, numbers, and hyphens only |
| Use plain characters | Convert accented characters to their plain equivalents for maximum compatibility |
| Make it readable | A person should understand the page topic from the slug alone |
| Do not change published slugs | Changing slugs breaks existing links and hurts search rankings |
| Match the page title | The slug should closely reflect the page title or heading |
Tips for Best Results
Remove stop words for shorter slugs
Enable stop word removal to strip filler words like 'the', 'and', 'of' and keep only meaningful keywords.
Set a max length for search engines
Search results display roughly 60 characters of a URL. Set the max length to 60 or less so the full slug is visible.
Use batch mode for migrations
When migrating a website or importing content, paste all your titles in batch mode to generate all slugs at once.
Edit slugs for precision
Auto-generated slugs are a great starting point. Fine-tune them by editing directly to remove redundant words or add a keyword.
Stick to one separator style
Pick hyphens, underscores, or dots and use the same separator across your entire site for consistency.
Preview with your actual domain
Replace the example base URL with your real domain to see exactly how the final URL will look.
Hyphens are best for search engines
Search engines treat hyphens as word separators but do not treat underscores the same way. Use hyphens for the best ranking signal.
Accented characters are handled automatically
Characters like cafe with accent, tilde n, and umlaut u are converted to plain equivalents so slugs work in every browser.
Copy the full URL in one click
Click Copy URL to grab the complete web address including your base domain, not just the slug.
Privacy is built in
