What is the Slug Generator?

Generate search-engine-friendly, clean URL slugs from any headline, product title, or document name. It eliminates illegal URL characters, normalizes accented glyphs, replaces whitespace runs with your choice of delimiter, and includes optional stop-word stripping to maximize keyword density.

  1. Type or paste your article title into the input box.
  2. Select your preferred delimiter (hyphens are strongly recommended by Google Search Central).
  3. Check "Remove common stop words" if you want a more concise, keyword-rich permalink.
  4. Review the live URL preview and click "Copy Slug".

Formula & Technical Specifications

The algorithm normalizes accented characters into standard ASCII equivalents, strips punctuation symbols, converts characters to lowercase, collapses consecutive spaces into single delimiter tokens, and trims leading and trailing hyphens.

Limitations, Edge Cases & Best Practices

Delimiters other than hyphens (such as underscores) are valid in URLs, but Google explicitly recommends hyphens (-) over underscores (_) for word separation in search engine indexing.

Privacy & Client-Side Execution

Slug generation runs instantaneously on your device.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Google prefer hyphens over underscores in URLs?

Google search crawlers treat hyphens as natural word separators (e.g. "word-counter" is indexed as "word counter"), whereas underscores are sometimes treated as word connectors ("word_counter").

Should I always remove stop words?

Not always. Removing filler words like "the" and "a" keeps URLs short and readable, but keep them if removing them alters the grammatical meaning of your title.
