What is a URL Slug?
A URL slug is the part of a web address that identifies a specific page in human-readable form. For example, in example.com/my-awesome-post, the slug is "my-awesome-post." Good slugs are lowercase, use hyphens to separate words, and contain no special characters.
Why Slugs Matter for SEO
Search engines use URL slugs to understand page content. Clean, descriptive slugs improve click-through rates from search results and make URLs easier to share. They should be concise, include relevant keywords, and avoid unnecessary words like "a," "the," and "and."
How This Tool Works
Type or paste any text and see the slug generated in real-time. The tool converts to lowercase, replaces spaces with hyphens, removes special characters, and trims leading/trailing hyphens. The API endpoint POST /api/slug/generate accepts a JSON body with a "text" field.
