Slugs are generated in your browser, so unpublished titles stay on your device.

Short and descriptive — three to six meaningful words is usually ideal.
Lowercase with hyphens — hyphens are the separator search engines treat as a space.
No accents or punctuation — accented characters get percent-encoded and become unreadable when shared.
Stable — once published, changing a slug breaks links unless you add a redirect.

“10 Things I Learned in São Paulo!” becomes 10-things-i-learned-in-sao-paulo, or 10-things-i-learned-sao-paulo with small words removed.

Good to know

What happens to accented characters?

They are converted to their closest plain letters, so “São Paulo” becomes “sao-paulo” rather than an unreadable encoded string.

Should I remove small words like “the”?

It shortens the URL but can hurt readability. Remove them only when the slug is getting long.

Can I generate several slugs at once?

Yes. Put one title per line and you get one slug per line, ready to paste into a spreadsheet or CMS.

Should I use underscores instead of hyphens?

Hyphens are the recommended separator for web URLs. Underscores are better suited to file names.
