What is a Slug?
A slug is the part of a URL that identifies a specific page on a site in a readable way. For example, in 'mysite.com/articles/how-to-create-slugs', the 'how-to-create-slugs' part is the slug.
Slugs should only contain lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens, without spaces or special characters. Our tool automatically converts texts into valid slugs.
Usage Tips
- Use the 'Create slug' option to automatically generate friendly URLs from titles

- For databases, consider preserving punctuation if it's important for context
