Every CMS generates slugs, and half of them do it badly: accents get percent-encoded into soup, ampersands vanish and merge words, and stray punctuation leaves double hyphens behind.
Our new slug generator applies the full
recipe in one pass: lowercase, strip accents (é → e), spell out &
as “and”, collapse every run of non-alphanumeric characters into a
single hyphen, and trim the ends. Type
Écoute — 10 Cafés & Bars You’ll Love! and you instantly get
ecoute-10-cafes-and-bars-you-ll-love — readable, ASCII-safe, and
stable in any browser, sitemap, or share sheet.
Because a page title is short and public by nature, this tool does something our other text tools deliberately don’t: it syncs the title to the URL, so you can share a link that opens with the slug already generated. The page itself explains the SEO details — why hyphens beat underscores, how long a slug should be, and the honest trade-off on removing stop words.
