A URL slug is the portion of a web address that identifies a specific page on a website in human-readable keywords (e.g. /tools/text-to-slug).

Why are slugs important for SEO?

Clean, descriptive slugs help search engine crawlers and human visitors understand page content before clicking, improving rankings and click-through rates.

Why use hyphens instead of spaces in URLs?

Spaces in URLs are encoded as %20 or +, which looks messy and hurts readability. Hyphens are the standard delimiter for web URLs.

Does this handle special punctuation?

Yes, symbols like !, ?, $, @, and quotes are automatically removed to ensure valid URLs.
