Text to Slug

What is a Slug?

A slug is the part of a URL that identifies a page in human-readable form. For example, in the URL example.com/blog/my-first-post, the slug is my-first-post. Good slugs are important for SEO and user experience.

Options Explained

• Separator: Choose what character separates words (hyphen is most common for SEO).
• Max Length: Limit the slug length (recommended: 50-60 characters for SEO).
• Lowercase: Convert all characters to lowercase (recommended for consistency).
• Remove Numbers: Strip all numbers from the slug.

SEO Best Practices

• Use lowercase letters only for consistency
