Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a good URL slug?

A good URL slug is short, descriptive, uses lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only, and accurately represents the page content.

Why should I use hyphens instead of underscores?

Search engines like Google treat hyphens as word separators, making "hello-world" read as "hello world". Underscores are not treated as separators.

How long should my URL slug be?

Keep slugs under 60 characters when possible. Shorter slugs are easier to read, share, and remember while still being descriptive.

Does this tool handle accented characters?

Yes, our generator automatically converts accented characters (é, ñ, ü, etc.) to their standard ASCII equivalents (e, n, u, etc.).

Can I customize the separator character?

Yes, you can choose between hyphens (-), underscores (_), or dots (.) as separators, though hyphens are recommended for SEO.
