URL Slug Generator

A URL slug is the human-readable portion of a web address that tells both users and search engines what a page is about — the `my-awesome-post` part of `example.com/blog/my-awesome-post`. A well-crafted slug uses lowercase letters, hyphens between words, and two to five keywords that match the page's target search query.

Getting slugs right matters for SEO: Google treats URL words as a relevance signal, and users are more likely to click a search result whose URL clearly describes the content. Bad slugs — auto-generated IDs, trailing numbers, or keyword-stuffed chains — hurt rankings and look unprofessional when shared.

This generator converts any text into a clean, URL-safe slug in one click. It lowercases the input, transliterates accented and Cyrillic characters to ASCII equivalents, replaces spaces and underscores with hyphens, strips all remaining special characters, and collapses multiple hyphens into one.
