Frequently Asked Questions

What is a URL slug?
A URL slug is the part of a URL that identifies a specific page in human-readable form. Example: in 'toolsnova.net/text-to-slug-converter', 'text-to-slug-converter' is the slug. Slugs use lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens — no spaces, special characters, or uppercase.
Why are slugs important for SEO?
A descriptive slug helps search engines understand what a page is about. 'toolsnova.net/calorie-calculator' tells Google the page is about calorie calculators, while '/page-123' tells it nothing. Good slugs are short, descriptive, and contain your target keyword.
Should I use hyphens or underscores?
Google recommends hyphens. Hyphens are treated as word separators in URLs, so 'blog-post' is read as two separate words 'blog' and 'post'. Underscores are treated as connectors — 'blog_post' is treated as one word 'blogpost'. For SEO, always use hyphens.
