What makes a good URL slug
A well-formed URL slug uses only lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens. It contains no spaces, no special characters, no accented letters, and no punctuation. It is as short as possible while still being descriptive. It includes the primary keyword for the page. And it reads naturally when someone sees it in a browser address bar or shared link.
Google recommends using hyphens rather than underscores as word separators in URLs. Hyphens are treated as word separators by search engines while underscores join words together — "slug-generator" is read as two words, "slug_generator" is read as one word "slug_generator".
Should you remove stop words from slugs?
Stop words are common words like "a", "an", "the", "and", "of", "in", "for", "to", "with". Removing them makes slugs shorter and keeps the focus on the meaningful keywords. "how-to-write-better-blog-posts" becomes "write-better-blog-posts" with stop words removed. Shorter is generally better for URLs — they are easier to share, easier to remember, and look cleaner. However if removing a stop word makes the slug ambiguous or changes its meaning, keep it.
Bulk slug generation
The bulk mode is built for content teams, SEO managers, and developers who need to generate multiple slugs at once. Paste a list of article titles, product names, or category names — one per line — and get a matching list of slugs instantly. Copy the entire output and paste it directly into your CMS, spreadsheet, or database.
Frequently asked questions
What is a URL slug?
A URL slug is the part of a web address that identifies a specific page in a human-readable format. For example in the URL example.com/blog/how-to-write-better the slug is "how-to-write-better". Slugs use lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens — no spaces or special characters.
How do I create an SEO-friendly URL slug?
A good SEO slug is lowercase, uses hyphens between words, contains the primary keyword, and avoids unnecessary words. TextlyPop handles all the technical formatting automatically — just paste your title and copy the result.
Should I remove stop words from my URL slug?
Generally yes. Removing stop words like "the", "a", "and", "of" makes slugs shorter and cleaner. However if a stop word is part of your target keyword phrase keep it. TextlyPop gives you the option either way.
Can I generate slugs for multiple titles at once?
Yes. Enable bulk mode and paste one title per line. Each line is converted to its own slug and the results appear one per line in the output, ready to copy all at once.
Can I use underscores instead of hyphens in slugs?
Yes. Select the underscore separator option. Hyphens are recommended by Google for URLs but underscores are sometimes required by specific systems or frameworks.
