What a slug should be

Lowercase, hyphenated, ASCII

Lowercase and hyphenated

Spaces become single hyphens and the text is lowercased, the format search engines and content systems expect.

Accents folded to ASCII

Accented letters are transliterated (café becomes cafe, Zürich becomes zurich) so the slug is safe in any URL.

Symbols dropped

Ampersands, exclamation marks, quotes and other punctuation are removed, and leading or trailing hyphens are trimmed.

What is a URL slug?

A slug is the readable part of a URL that names a page, like summer-sale in example.com/summer-sale. Good slugs are lowercase, use hyphens between words, and contain only letters, digits and hyphens.

Should a slug use hyphens or underscores?

Hyphens. Google treats a hyphen as a word separator but an underscore as a word joiner, so summer-sale reads as two words while summer_sale reads as one. Use hyphens for SEO.
