Turn any blog title into a clean, SEO-friendly URL slug — in your browser, instantly.
Type or paste a title — see the slug update in real time.
Optionally strip 'a', 'the', 'and' and other low-value words for shorter, cleaner slugs.
Pick the separator that matches your CMS — Google treats both as word breaks.
Strips accents and diacritics so URLs work across all browsers and SEO tools.
Trim to a max length without breaking words mid-syllable.
No server, no tracking. Your titles never leave your machine.
Your URL is the second thing Google reads about a page (after the title tag). A clean, descriptive permalink with your target keyword signals relevance and improves click-through rate from search results.
Compare these two URLs in a search result: /p?id=4729&cat=12 vs. /seo-tips-2026. The second one tells the user (and Google) exactly what the page is about. Studies consistently show clean URLs get more clicks at the same ranking position.
Once your permalinks are set, make sure those pages actually get indexed. Use IndexFlow's Bulk Index Checker to verify discoverability.
A permalink is the permanent URL of a page or blog post — the part after your domain. For example, in https://example.com/seo-tips-2026, the permalink is 'seo-tips-2026'. Good permalinks are short, descriptive, and contain your target keyword.
Hyphens. Google treats hyphens as word separators (so 'seo-tips' = 'seo tips') but treats underscores as part of a single word ('seo_tips' = 'seo_tips'). Always use hyphens for SEO.
Aim for under 60 characters total. Shorter URLs are easier to share, more clickable in search results, and Google has historically given a slight ranking edge to shorter URLs. Don't sacrifice clarity for brevity though.
Generally remove them — they add length without SEO value. But keep them when removing them makes the slug confusing or grammatically awkward (e.g., 'how-to-cook' reads better than 'how-cook').
Only if you don't 301-redirect the old URL to the new one. If you redirect properly, you'll preserve all link equity. Don't change permalinks of pages that already rank — every change is a small risk.
