Frequently Asked Questions
What is a URL slug?
A slug is the last part of a URL that identifies a specific page — e.g., in 'prepptools.com/tools/word-counter', the slug is 'word-counter'. It's lowercase, uses hyphens instead of spaces, and contains no special characters.
Does it handle accented characters?
Yes. Accented letters (é, ü, ñ, etc.) are transliterated to their ASCII equivalents (e, u, n) to ensure the slug is URL-safe.
Why are hyphens preferred over underscores in slugs?
Google treats hyphens as word separators (like spaces) but treats underscores as part of a word. 'word-counter' ranks for 'word counter' searches; 'word_counter' does not.
Is this free?
Yes, free to use instantly with no sign-up.
