A URL slug is the human-readable part of a URL that identifies a specific page, usually written in lowercase with words separated by hyphens — for example, my-first-blog-post.

Can I generate multiple slugs at once?

Yes. Paste each title on a new line and the bulk slug generator will produce one slug per line.

Should I use dashes or underscores in slugs?

Google recommends hyphens (dashes) over underscores because hyphens are treated as word separators, which improves how URLs are parsed for SEO.

What is a URL slug?

A URL slug is the readable portion of a web address that uniquely identifies a page. In slugifier.com/tools/slug-generator, the slug is slug-generator. Good slugs are short, lowercase, descriptive, and use hyphens between words so search engines and humans can read them easily.

Why slugs matter for SEO

Search engines use URLs as a ranking signal. A keyword-rich slug tells Google what a page is about before it even crawls the content, increases click-through rate from search results, and makes links easier to share. Generating consistent, well-formed slugs at scale is a small change that compounds across an entire site.

• Improves keyword relevance in the URL
• Increases click-through rate in SERPs
• Produces shareable, memorable links
• Avoids broken characters from spaces and punctuation
