FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do URL slugs impact search engine rankings?

SEO-friendly slugs containing keywords help search engines understand page content. Clean URLs improve user experience and shareability. While not a major ranking factor, descriptive slugs over random numbers/characters are always preferable.

Should I use hyphens or underscores in URL slugs?

Use hyphens (-). Google treats hyphens as word separators, so "my-product" becomes "my" + "product." Underscores don't separate words, so "my_product" is read as "myproduct." Hyphens are SEO best practice for multi-word slugs.

Can I generate slugs for multiple titles at once?

This tool generates one slug per input. For multiple titles, process each separately or paste titles one after another and copy each slug. For bulk processing, use API-based tools or automate with spreadsheets.

Does the tool remove stop words from slugs automatically?

This tool keeps all words by default. Stop words (the, a, and, etc.) in slugs are acceptable but add length. You can manually edit the output to remove non-essential words for shorter, cleaner URLs.
