Frequently asked questions
Why use hyphens and not underscores?
Hyphens are Google's recommended choice for URL slugs. They separate words clearly for the search engine and are the most widespread convention across web and blogs.
What does strip accents do exactly?
It replaces accented or diacritic letters with their unaccented counterparts (á becomes a, ñ becomes n, ü becomes u). The result is pure ASCII, which avoids issues in legacy URLs and systems that don't handle Unicode well.
Should I keep accents in a modern URL?
Modern browsers and engines support Unicode in URLs, but the slug looks longer once copied (accents are encoded as %CE%A9 and similar). For consistency and readability, stripping accents is the common choice.
Does it work with any language?
Yes. It recognizes Latin, Greek, Cyrillic and many other alphabets. For languages with characters very different from Latin (Chinese, Arabic), the slug may end up very short. In those cases, a manual transliteration is usually preferred.
Is this a kebab-case generator?
Yes. With the hyphen separator and lowercase enabled, this is exactly kebab-case: all lowercase words joined by hyphens, like my-blog-post. That differs from snake_case, which joins words with underscores (my_blog_post), and from camelCase, which removes separators and capitalizes each new word (myBlogPost). Kebab-case is the standard for URL slugs because hyphens read as word breaks for search engines.
