A permalink slug is the readable part of a URL that identifies a post or page. The generator converts a title to lowercase, removes punctuation, normalizes spacing, and joins words with hyphens. Optional controls can remove common stop words and trim very long results.
Paste a title to create a clean URL path. Review important words before publishing.
How this tool helps
A good slug is readable without copying the complete headline. Keep the central topic, remove dates that may become inaccurate, and avoid changing established URLs unless a permanent redirect is prepared. WordPress can create slugs automatically, but a quick review improves clarity.
How to use it
- Paste the final page or post title.
- Choose whether common stop words and excessive length should be reduced.
- Generate the slug and review its meaning.
- Paste it into the WordPress permalink field before publishing.
Frequently asked questions
Does a shorter slug always rank better?
No. A concise, descriptive slug is useful, but relevance, content quality, links, and search intent matter more than a specific length.
Can I change a slug after publishing?
Yes, but the old URL should redirect permanently to the new URL to preserve visitors and search signals.
Should the focus keyword appear in the slug?
Include the main topic naturally when it improves clarity. Avoid repetition or forced keyword combinations.
Important: Review generated configuration before using it on a production website and confirm detector results against the website you are researching.
