URL Slug Generator
Turn any headline into a short, clean, SEO-friendly URL slug.
About this tool
The URL slug generator converts any headline into a clean, SEO-friendly slug: lowercase, words separated by hyphens, special characters stripped. Short descriptive slugs are easier for users to read and share, and they give search engines a clear topic signal.
Enable stop-word removal to drop filler words like "the", "and" and "of" for tighter URLs.
How to use
- 1. Paste your page title.
- 2. Toggle stop-word removal if wanted, then click Generate.
- 3. Copy the slug into your CMS.
Frequently asked questions
What are stop words?
Common filler words (the, and, of, in) that add length without meaning. Removing them keeps slugs short.
Should slugs include keywords?
Yes, keep your primary keyword in the slug, near the front.
How long should a slug be?
Aim for 3–5 words. Shorter slugs are easier to share and remember.
