URL Slug Generator

A URL slug is the part of a URL that identifies a specific page in human-readable words. For example, in utilifyer.com/url-slug-generator, the slug is 'url-slug-generator'. Good slugs are lowercase, use hyphens, and describe the page content.

Google treats hyphens as word separators (like spaces) in URLs. Underscores are treated as joining characters — 'url_slug' is treated as one word 'urlslug'. Use hyphens for better SEO.

Keep slugs under 60 characters when possible. Shorter slugs are easier to share and remember. Include your primary keyword but avoid keyword stuffing. Remove filler words like 'a', 'the', 'and'.

Avoid dates in slugs for evergreen content — '2025-guide-to-seo' becomes outdated. Use dates only for news articles or time-specific content. Changing URLs later breaks links and loses SEO equity.
