Slug Generator — Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about using Slug Generator.
Why do URLs need slugs?
Slugs let humans and search engines read URLs at a glance. /how-to-make-coffee is far better for SEO and shareability than /post/12345 or /p?id=12345.
Does the slug generator handle special characters?
Yes. Accents are normalized (café → cafe), emojis are stripped, ampersands become "and", and anything else non-alphanumeric becomes a separator.
Can I use uppercase letters in URLs?
Technically yes, but lowercase is standard. Mixed-case URLs cause issues on case-sensitive servers (Linux) and look messy. Keep them lowercase.
What separator should I use?
Hyphens for SEO (Google’s recommendation). Underscores only if your framework specifically requires them. Avoid dots in path segments — they can confuse routers.
Are my titles uploaded anywhere?
No. Slug generation is pure string manipulation in your browser. Nothing leaves your device.
