Why use the URL Slug Generator?
A short, readable URL slug helps people understand what a page is about before they click, and it looks tidier when shared on social media or WhatsApp. WordPress creates slugs automatically from titles, but long titles produce long, cluttered URLs full of words like "the" and "for". This generator gives you a clean, lowercase, hyphen-separated slug with optional stop-word removal and a length limit. Decide on the slug before publishing, because changing it later means setting up a redirect.
Frequently asked questions
Should I remove stop words from slugs?
Often, yes, because it makes URLs shorter — but keep any word that is needed for the meaning, such as "not" or "vs". The tool never removes those.
How long should a URL slug be?
There is no strict limit. A few meaningful words — often three to six — is a sensible target for most blog posts.
Should I include the year in a slug?
Usually not for content you plan to update, because the URL would look outdated. Put the year in the title instead.
What if I change a slug after publishing?
Set up a 301 redirect from the old URL to the new one — Rank Math's Redirections module can do this — so links and bookmarks keep working.
