Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a URL slug?
- A slug is the URL-friendly version of a page title. For example, 'How to Bake Bread' becomes 'how-to-bake-bread'. Search engines prefer clean, readable URLs.
- Are accented characters supported?
- Yes. Characters like é, ñ, ü, and ø are converted to their plain ASCII equivalents (e, n, u, o) for maximum URL compatibility.
- Which separator is better for SEO?
- Hyphens (-) are recommended by Google for word separators in URLs. Underscores (_) are treated as word joiners, not separators.
- Does this handle non-English text?
- Latin-based scripts are handled well. Non-Latin scripts (Chinese, Arabic, etc.) will be stripped since URL slugs typically use ASCII characters only.
