What makes a good slug

A slug is the human-readable part of a URL after the domain. Good ones are short, lowercase, hyphen-separated and made of real words — they survive being pasted into emails, read aloud, and shown in search results.

Prefer hyphens over underscores. Search engines treat a hyphen as a word separator but an underscore as a word joiner, so text-tools reads as two words while text_tools can read as one. Underscores can also disappear under a link underline.

Accents, symbols and stop words

Accented characters are transliterated to their closest ASCII equivalent, so Café Straße becomes cafe-strasse. Punctuation and symbols are dropped entirely.

Remove stop words strips filler like “the”, “of” and “and” for a tighter slug. Use it with judgement — dropping them can change meaning, and once a URL is published, changing it costs you the existing links unless you add a redirect.
