📖 What is Slug Generator?
Slug Generator converts any text into a clean, URL-friendly slug. It lowercases the text, replaces spaces with hyphens, removes special characters and accents, and trims leading/trailing hyphens. Use it to generate SEO-friendly URLs for blog posts, product pages or any web content. Everything runs in your browser.

📝 Slug Best Practices
- Keep slugs short — 3-5 words is ideal for SEO
- Use hyphens, not underscores — Google treats hyphens as word separators
- Remove stop words (the, a, an, and, or) for shorter URLs
- Use lowercase only — URLs are case-sensitive on most servers
- Avoid changing slugs after publishing — it breaks existing links
⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Changing published slugs — changing a URL after publishing breaks bookmarks, backlinks and SEO. Set up redirects if you must change.
- Too long — slugs over 5-6 words are harder to read and share. Remove unnecessary words.
- Special characters — characters like ?, #, & have special meaning in URLs and must be removed.
