Clean URLs

Slug generator.

The slug generator turns page, article or product titles into clean URL slugs: it removes diacritics, lowercases the text and replaces spaces and special characters with hyphens. It handles Czech, Slovak, Polish and German, such as ř, ł or ß. It works in bulk: each title on a new line.

Slugs

Removes diacritics (č → c, ß → ss, ł → l), lowercases and replaces spaces and symbols with the separator. Google recommends hyphens.

Runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or stored.

How to use it

03
  1. Step01

    Paste the titles

    Each on its own line, for example an export of product names from an e-shop.

  2. Step02

    Choose separator and length

    The hyphen is recommended; a maximum length keeps URLs short.

  3. Step03

    Copy

    Slugs come out in the same order as the titles.

Rules for a good URL

  • Short. Three to five words are enough. You can drop conjunctions and prepositions.
  • Readable. A person should be able to tell what the page is about.
  • Stable. Don’t change it without a redirect.
  • Lowercase with hyphens. This avoids duplicates like /Blog/ and /blog/.
  • A consistent trailing slash. This website has every URL ending in a slash and redirects URLs without one.

Once you have your URLs, list them in a sitemap so search engines find them quickly.

FAQ04

Questions people ask

01What is a slug?

The part of a URL that identifies a page, such as "website-development-prague" in zitko.agency/en/solutions/website-development-prague/. It should be short, readable and without diacritics.

02Should URLs contain accented characters?

Technically they can, but in links accented characters turn into unreadable codes like %C5%99. So we recommend URLs without diacritics. Google and Seznam recognise the unaccented words without any problem.

03Hyphen or underscore?

Hyphen. Google treats it as a word separator, while an underscore joins words together. Underscores are better suited to file names.

04What if I change the slug of an existing page?

Set up a 301 redirect from the old URL to the new one, or you'll lose links and search rankings.
