Slug Generator
This lesson is part of Web Developer Tools · All levels
Summary
Slug generators turn the title or sentence into a short, small, easy-to-read URL section. Spaces and punctuation are usually replaced by hyphens, while the letter accented letters are normalized. A good slug helps readers and search engines understand the content of a page.
Key points
- Slug is a URL-friendly version of the title, usually lowercase and using a hyphen
- The spaces are changed to hyphen, not left raw.
- Punctuation and special characters should be removed or normalized
- Short and descriptive slugs are easier to read and share
- Avoid replacing slug pages that are already indexed without redirecting
