Permalink Generator
Generate SEO-friendly URL slugs from page titles instantly.
Why it matters
Your URL slug is one of the first things Google reads about a page
A clean URL slug tells both search engines and humans what a page is about before they even load it. A page titled "Best Project Management Tools for Remote Teams" with the slug /best-project-management-tools-remote-teams is immediately clearer than /blog/post-12345.
URLs are also one of the most stable on-page signals. You can change a title tag or meta description in seconds, but changing a URL slug requires a redirect to avoid broken links. Getting it right the first time saves significant maintenance headaches.

FAQ
Common questions about Permalink Generator
What makes a good URL slug?
A good URL slug is short, descriptive, and readable. It includes the primary keyword, uses hyphens to separate words, and avoids unnecessary filler words. For example: /seo-title-generator rather than /how-to-use-this-seo-title-generator-tool.
Should I remove stop words from my URL?
Generally yes. Words like 'a,' 'the,' 'in,' and 'for' add length without meaning. Removing them creates shorter, cleaner URLs. However, if the stop word is essential for readability (e.g., /jobs-to-be-done), keep it.
Hyphens or underscores for URL slugs?
Always use hyphens. Google treats hyphens as word separators but treats underscores as word joiners. /best_coffee_maker reads as one word to Google; /best-coffee-maker reads as three.
How long should a URL slug be?
Keep slugs under 5-6 words. Shorter URLs are easier to share, remember, and rank. A slug with 3-5 words is the sweet spot for most pages.
