URL Slug Generator

3 to 5 meaningful words (around 40–60 characters) is the sweet spot. Short enough to be readable in search results, long enough to carry your target keyword.

Usually yes for short slugs ("best-coffee-shops" beats "the-best-of-the-coffee-shops"). Keep them if removing changes the meaning ("to-be-or-not-to-be").

They are transliterated to their closest ASCII equivalent — "café" becomes "cafe". Emoji and symbols are stripped entirely.

Always hyphens. Google treats hyphens as word separators and underscores as part of the same token — so "best_articles" reads as one word, "best-articles" as two.
