URL slug generator

Turns a title into a clean slug. Accents become their base letters, punctuation goes, and you can drop stop words.

Should I remove stop words from URLs?

Usually yes for length, but not when removing them changes the meaning. A slug reading how-to-cook-rice is better than how-cook-rice, and the difference in length is not worth the awkwardness.

Hyphens or underscores?

Hyphens. Google treats a hyphen as a word separator and an underscore as a joiner, so word_two reads as one token.

Does changing a slug hurt?

Changing the slug of a page that already ranks means a new URL, and you need a 301 redirect from the old one or you lose everything it had earned. Get it right before publishing rather than tidying it later.

This tool checks one page at a time. Visorank does the same work across every page on your site continuously, and shows you which queries people actually search rather than estimates.
