WordPress Slug Cleaner
Turn any post title into a clean, lowercase, keyword-focused URL slug — with optional stop-word removal.
Clean URLs read better and rank better
WordPress auto-generates a slug from your title, but the default often keeps every filler word and awkward character, producing long, messy URLs. A tidy slug — lowercase, hyphenated, focused on the keyword — is easier for people to read and share and gives search engines a clearer signal about the page. This cleaner converts any title into that form instantly.
Turn on stop-word removal to strip low-value words like "the", "a", and "in" for a shorter, punchier slug, while keeping meaningful ones. If you're changing a slug on a page that's already live, remember to add a 301 redirect so you don't lose existing links and rankings.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a good WordPress slug?
A clean slug is lowercase, uses hyphens between words, contains your target keyword, and drops filler words like "a", "the", and "and" that add length without meaning.
Should I remove stop words from slugs?
Often yes. Shorter, keyword-focused slugs are easier to read and share. This tool can strip common stop words, but keep any that change meaning (like "how-to").
Can I change a slug after publishing?
You can, but set up a 301 redirect from the old slug to the new one so you keep existing rankings and links. Changing slugs without redirects breaks URLs.
Is this tool free and private?
Yes. The slug is generated in your browser — nothing is uploaded or stored.
