Frequently asked questions
What makes a slug SEO-friendly?
Short, lowercase, descriptive, hyphen-separated, ASCII-safe, and free of stop-word noise. This tool produces slugs that follow those conventions.
How are accented characters handled?
They are normalised to their ASCII equivalents using Unicode NFD decomposition — 'naïve' becomes 'naive', 'crème brûlée' becomes 'creme-brulee'.
Are emoji removed?
Yes. Emoji and most non-letter symbols are stripped because they break URL routing in many systems.
Does it remove common stop words like 'the' or 'and'?
No — it preserves your words. If you want shorter slugs, edit the input first.
