How to use this tool
- Paste a full URL or enter the proposed slug.
- Run the URL check.
- Review casing, separators, length and tracking elements.
- Copy the suggestion and adjust it to describe the page accurately.
Understanding the result
A useful slug is stable, readable and specific enough to identify the page. There is no universal perfect length, and removing too many words can make a URL less clear.
Practical guidance
Use lowercase words separated by hyphens. Avoid dates unless they are essential, remove temporary tracking parameters and do not change established URLs without planning redirects.
