Slug rules that age well
Short, descriptive, lowercase, hyphenated: /best-coffee-makers beats /page?id=412 and /Best_Coffee_Makers!! alike. Include the words a searcher would type, skip the ones they would not (dates go stale, "ultimate-guide" invites rewrites). And the rule that matters most: once a URL is live and linked, changing its slug means redirects and risk — choose like it is permanent, because it should be. Non-English titles: this tool folds accents (é → e) for ASCII-safe URLs; native-script URLs work too, but they encode into unreadable percent-messes when shared.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I remove stop words?
It shortens the URL slightly and rarely changes meaning — but keep them when they ARE the meaning ("to-be-or-not-to-be" is not "be-not-be").
