SEO Slug Generator
Generate SEO-friendly URL slugs with stop word removal and length control.
How to Use the SEO Slug Generator
Enter any text — a blog title, page name, or product title — and get an SEO-friendly URL slug. Customize the separator (dash or underscore), max length, and optionally remove common stop words for shorter, cleaner URLs.
URL Slug Best Practices
- Keep it short — Aim for 3-5 words in your slug. Shorter URLs perform better in search.
- Use dashes — Google recommends hyphens over underscores as word separators.
- Include keywords — Put your target keyword in the slug.
- Remove stop words — Words like "the", "and", "of" can be removed to keep slugs concise.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a URL slug?
A URL slug is the part of a web address that identifies a specific page in a human-readable format. For example, in example.com/seo-slug-generator, "seo-slug-generator" is the slug.
Should I use dashes or underscores?
Use dashes (hyphens). Google treats hyphens as word separators but treats underscores as word joiners. So "seo-tips" is read as two words, while "seo_tips" is read as one.
How long should a URL slug be?
Aim for 3-5 words or under 60 characters. Google can handle longer URLs, but shorter, descriptive slugs are easier for users to read and share.
What are stop words?
Stop words are common words like "a", "the", "and", "of", "in" that add little meaning to URLs. Removing them creates cleaner, shorter slugs without losing meaning.
