About slug generator
A slug is the readable last part of a URL, such as best-budget-phones. Clean slugs are easier to read, share and remember.
Rules of a good slug
- Lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens only.
- Short and descriptive. Remove filler words like 'the', 'a' and 'and' where it still reads well.
- Hyphens separate words better than underscores for search engines.
- Do not include dates or version numbers that will go out of date.
Changing slugs later
If a page is already live, changing its slug breaks incoming links unless you add a permanent (301) redirect from the old address to the new one.
A worked example
The title 'Best Budget Phones Under ₹15,000 (2026 Guide)!' becomes best-budget-phones-under-15000-2026-guide. Symbols and brackets are dropped, spaces become hyphens, and everything is lowercase.
Other languages
- Slugs with Hindi or Gujarati letters are valid but may appear encoded in links.
- Many sites use a transliterated English slug for easier sharing.
- Keep the slug stable once the page is published.
