Why slugs matter for SEO
URL slugs are one of the most important on-page factors for search engine rankings. A well-structured URL like 'miguelacm.es/blog/url-slug-generator' communicates to the search engine the exact content of the page, which can translate directly into greater visibility for those keywords. Google recommends short, descriptive URLs with words separated by hyphens.
Beyond SEO, clean slugs also improve user experience: they are easier to remember, share and understand at a glance. A slug like 'how-to-make-homemade-bread' is infinitely more usable than '?p=1234&cat=5&lang=en', for both humans and algorithms.
Frequently asked questions
What is a URL slug?
The part of a URL that identifies a page in a readable way. For example, in 'miguelacm.es/blog/my-article', the slug is 'my-article'. It should be short, lowercase and free of special characters.
Why use hyphens instead of underscores?
Google treats hyphens (-) as actual word separators, improving SEO indexing. Underscores (_) make the engine treat them as a single word.
Does the generator automatically remove accents?
Yes. It uses Unicode NFD to decompose accented characters (á, é, ñ, ü) and remove them, generating only ASCII characters safe for URLs.
Can I limit the slug length?
Yes. The Max length field truncates the slug to the indicated maximum number. Slugs under 60-75 characters are recommended for better readability in search results.
What is the configurable base URL for?
To preview the final result before using it. Enter the base of your site (e.g. 'yourdomain.com/blog/') and you will see what the complete URL will look like with the generated slug.
