Good slug habits
Keep slugs short (Google's own guidance and most SEO studies point to roughly 3-5 words), use hyphens rather than underscores, and avoid dates or version numbers you'll need to update later. Removing stop words is a style choice, not a ranking requirement — some sites intentionally keep them for readability.
How to use the URL Slug Generator
- Paste your page title.
- Optionally remove stop words for a shorter slug.
- Copy the slug into your CMS’s URL field.
Frequently asked questions
How long should a URL slug be?
Short and descriptive: around 3–6 words, with the main keyword near the start.
Should I include the year?
Only if the content is truly tied to that year. Otherwise leave it out so the URL stays valid when you update the page.
Can I change a slug after publishing?
Yes, but set up a 301 redirect from the old URL so you keep links and rankings.
