- A URL slug is the part of a URL that identifies a page in human-readable form — e.g.
/blog/how-to-build-a-rest-api. - Unicode characters like accented letters (é, ñ, ü) are transliterated to their ASCII equivalents for maximum compatibility.
- Stop words (a, the, in, of, etc.) can be removed to create shorter, cleaner URLs that rank better for SEO.
- Everything runs in your browser — no data is sent over the network.
What makes a URL SEO-friendly?
An SEO-friendly URL is short (under 60 characters ideally), descriptive, lowercase, and uses hyphens as word separators. It includes the primary keyword near the beginning, avoids parameters and session IDs, and follows a logical site hierarchy. Google's guidelines recommend simple, human-readable URLs that convey the page's content at a glance.
Common use cases
SEO teams use URL generators when planning site architecture and URL structures for new sections. Developers integrate URL generation logic into CMS platforms and headless content APIs. Content writers verify their proposed titles will produce clean URLs before publishing. Migration specialists map old dynamic URLs to new SEO-friendly patterns during site redesigns.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long should an SEO-friendly URL be?
Aim for under 60 characters for the path portion. Google can index longer URLs, but shorter ones are easier to share, display better in search results, and tend to have higher click-through rates. Focus on 3-5 descriptive words.
Should URLs use hyphens or underscores?
Use hyphens (-), not underscores (_). Google treats hyphens as word separators but treats underscores as word joiners. So /url-slug-generator is read as three words, while /url_slug_generator is read as one. This has been confirmed by Google engineers.
