Frequently Asked Questions
What is a URL slug?
A URL slug is the readable, human-friendly portion of a web address that identifies a specific page, such as "/blog/my-first-post". Clean, descriptive slugs improve SEO indexing and user navigation.
Why should I remove stop words from a slug?
Stop words like "a", "an", "the", "and", "or", "to" add length to your URLs without adding SEO value. Filtering them creates shorter, keyword-rich permalinks that search engines prefer.
How are accented characters handled?
Accents and diacritics are transliterated into their standard ASCII counterparts (for example, "é" becomes "e", "ö" becomes "o", "ñ" becomes "n"). This prevents URL encoding issues on modern web servers.
Can I generate slugs for multiple titles at once?
Yes! Toggle "Bulk Mode" and enter each title on a new line. The tool will instantly convert every line into a separate slug, allowing you to batch process dozens of names in seconds.
