Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a URL Slug?

A slug is the exact part of a web address that comes at the very end of the URL and identifies a specific page in a readable way. For example, in everydaytools.tech/text-to-slug, the "text-to-slug" part is the slug.

Why should I use hyphens instead of underscores?

Google and other major search engines read hyphens as space separators between words, helping them understand your page topic. Underscores are often treated as word joiners, meaning search engines might read "text_to_slug" as one giant, unreadable word.
