Common mistakes

Expecting the slug to preserve punctuation exactly

Fix: A slug generator usually removes punctuation to keep the result cleaner and more URL-friendly.

Assuming every special character should remain in the slug

Fix: Keep slugs simple and readable, and avoid unnecessary symbols where possible.

Using a slug that is too long

Fix: Shorten the original title if the generated slug becomes unnecessarily long or repetitive.

Keeping filler words that do not add much value

Fix: Consider simplifying the title before generating the slug if you want a shorter URL.

Treating a slug as the full page title

Fix: Use the slug for the URL structure only and keep the full title separately for the page heading.
