Free URL slug analyzer
Enter a URL slug to check casing, separators, length, dates, and optional keyword placement. Review the suggested cleanup before using it. If the address is already published, consider its existing links and redirects before making a change.

Step 1 · Add the page address
Paste a URL or slug
This check runs locally. The URL is not opened, crawled, or submitted.
Step 2 · Review the guidance
Your slug review
Write_Better--Page-TitlesQuery parameters and fragments were ignored; only the final path segment was reviewed.- Replace spaces or underscores
Replace every space or underscore with a hyphen (-). Separator-only result: “Write-Better--Page-Titles”.
- Repeated, leading, or trailing hyphens
Use one hyphen between words, with no hyphen at the beginning or end of the slug.
- Use consistent lowercase
Lowercase avoids case-sensitive surprises on some servers. Suggested casing: “write_better--page-titles”.
No numeric score is shown because slug quality is contextual. These checks cover readability and consistency—not ranking potential. Existing URLs shouldn't be changed casually; plan redirects and internal-link updates before a migration.
Use before publishing
A cleaner slug is useful; a needless URL change is not.
The checks separate structural cleanup from editorial judgment. Spaces, underscores, repeated hyphens, and capitalization can usually be normalized predictably. Numbers, dates, word choices, and keyword placement still need context.
Plainview Tools does not automatically remove common words when doing so could change meaning, break a phrase, or distort the optional primary keyword.
Existing URLs shouldn't be changed casually. A published URL may have links, search history, bookmarks, or analytics attached to it. Plan a permanent redirect before changing one.
