Turn any title into a clean URL.

The part of a web address that names one page - in anantyatechlabs.com/blog/how-to-write-meta-tags, the slug is how-to-write-meta-tags. A good one tells people and search engines what the page is about before they open it.

Dashes. Google reads a dash as a space between words, but treats words joined by underscores as one long word - so my-page-title is three words to Google, while my_page_title is one. Only use underscores if your site already does.

Usually, yes - they make a slug longer without saying more about the page. Keep them when the slug reads oddly without them. Words like "how" and "not" are never removed here, because dropping them changes the meaning.

Short enough to read at a glance - roughly three to six words and under 60 characters. Keep the words people would search for and leave out the rest.

Avoid them when the page will be updated. A slug like 10-seo-tips or seo-tips-2025 goes out of date the day you add a tip or the year changes - and changing it later means a new address.

You can, but every link and search result pointing at the old address breaks. If you do, add a 301 redirect from the old slug to the new one so visitors and rankings carry over.

No. The slug is made in your browser - nothing you type is sent to us or saved.
