Slug Generator

These titles are converted with the default settings: hyphen separator, lower case and a 60-character limit.

Good slugs are short, readable and describe the page. Google's URL guidelines recommend simple, descriptive words and hyphens rather than underscores to separate them, because hyphens are treated as word separators. Keep the main keyword, drop filler words when the slug gets long, avoid dates if you plan to update the page, and use lower case so the same page can't be reached at two addresses that differ only in capital letters. Three to five words is a good target for most pages.

Web addresses can technically contain any Unicode letter, but they are shown encoded, so a slug like café appears as caf%C3%A9 when copied into an email or a spreadsheet. Converting to plain Latin letters keeps links tidy and easy to type. The generator removes accents from Latin letters, spells special letters out (ß as ss, æ as ae, ł as l) and transliterates Cyrillic and Greek. For German text you can write ä, ö and ü as ae, oe and ue. Scripts without a simple Latin spelling, such as Hindi, Chinese or Arabic, are dropped unless you turn on Keep other scripts, which keeps those letters in the slug.

Once a page is live and indexed, changing its slug changes its address. If you must do it, set up a permanent (301) redirect from the old address to the new one so visitors and search engines are sent to the right place and the page keeps its ranking. Update internal links and your sitemap too. For new pages, settle the slug before you publish.
