FAQ
What is a slug?
A slug is the readable string in a URL path that identifies a page, like my-first-post in /blog/my-first-post. Slugs make URLs easier to read and help with SEO.
How do I create a slug from a Chinese title?
Chinese characters cannot be used directly in a standard slug. Depending on the mode you choose, the tool either converts the Chinese to pinyin first or strips the Chinese characters out.
Should a slug use hyphens or underscores?
Google officially recommends hyphens (-) over underscores (_), because search engines treat the hyphen as a word separator, which is better for SEO.
Is there a maximum slug length?
Aim for 50 to 60 characters, which is both memorable and SEO-friendly. Browsers and servers generally support URLs up to 2048 characters.
