About this tool
What makes a good URL slug?
A slug is the readable part of a URL that identifies a page, such as /how-to-write-an-invoice. Good slugs are short, lowercase, use hyphens between words and describe the page in a few keywords. People are more likely to click a clear URL, and search engines use the words as a small hint about the page topic.
Google recommends hyphens rather than underscores, because hyphens are read as word separators. Removing stop words such as "the" and "of" can shorten long titles, but keep them when they are needed for the meaning.
