How it works
How it works
The slug is lower-case, replaces accents with plain letters, swaps & for and, turns anything that is not a letter or number into a single hyphen, and is trimmed to 80 characters.
FAQ
About this calculator
What makes a good URL slug?
Short, readable, lower-case words separated by hyphens that describe the page. Skip filler words if the meaning stays clear.
Should I change a slug after publishing?
Avoid it. If you must, redirect the old address to the new one so links and rankings carry over.
Do slugs affect rankings?
A clear slug helps people understand the page and click, but it is a small signal.
Should a slug include the year?
Only if the page is tied to a year. Otherwise leave it out so the address stays useful when the content is updated.
Hyphens or underscores?
Hyphens are the usual choice, because search engines treat them as word separators.
Is anything saved?
No. The math runs in your browser and nothing you enter is sent to us.
