URL Slug Generator
What the slug is for
It is the readable part of the address, and one of the few pieces of a URL a person actually reads before clicking. A slug that says what the page is about earns clicks in search results and in a pasted link; a string of numbers earns none.
Rules worth following
- Lowercase, always — servers treat /About and /about as different pages.
- Hyphens, not underscores. Search engines split on a hyphen and join on an underscore.
- Three to five meaningful words. The rest is noise.
- Leave dates out unless they are genuinely part of what the page is.
- Do not change it after publishing without a 301 redirect.
