What a URL slug is
The slug is the readable part of the address after the domain — the url-slug-generator in this page's own URL. It should describe the page in a few words that a person can read out loud.
A clear slug helps someone judge a link before clicking it and gives a search engine an extra plain-language signal about the page. It is a small factor, not a ranking trick — the content still has to be worth reading.
Removing stop words
Words like a, the, and, of, in and for rarely add meaning to a URL, so turning on stop-word removal shortens how-to-compress-a-pdf-without-losing-quality into compress-pdf-without-losing-quality.
Keep them when dropping them changes the sense of the title. Shorter is better only up to the point where the slug still reads naturally.
Generating slugs in bulk
Paste an entire list of headlines, one per line, and every line is converted at once — useful when you are planning a content calendar or importing a product catalogue.
Hyphens are the safer separator for the web; underscores are fine internally but are treated as part of a word by some crawlers.
What to do next
- write the title and description — the other half of how your page appears in search results
- fix the capitalisation of a title — clean up an imported list before slugging it
