Frequently Asked Questions
What is a slug?
The part of a URL that identifies a specific page in readable form — like "/what-is-a-slug" in this URL.
Dash or underscore?
Use dashes. Search engines treat dashes as word separators but underscores as part of the word, hurting readability.
Does it handle non-English text?
Accented letters are transliterated to ASCII (é → e). Other scripts are removed unless you keep them via your own tooling.
Should slugs change over time?
Ideally not — changing a slug breaks existing links. Choose a stable slug when you first publish.
Practical Example
Enter Hello, World! and the generated slug is hello-world — lowercased, with the comma and exclamation mark replaced by a single dash.
