A URL slug is the part of a URL that identifies a specific page in a human-readable format — for example, "my-blog-post" in "example.com/blog/my-blog-post". Slugs use lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens.

What characters are removed from slugs?

All characters that are not letters, numbers, or separators are removed. Spaces are replaced with hyphens (or underscores). Accented characters are transliterated to their ASCII equivalents (e.g. é → e).

Can I use underscores instead of hyphens?

Yes — toggle the separator option to switch between hyphen (-) and underscore (_) separators. Hyphens are recommended for SEO as Google treats them as word separators.

Is there a maximum slug length?

You can set a maximum length. Most SEO experts recommend keeping slugs under 60 characters. The tool truncates at the last complete word before the limit.
