How accurate is IndexChecker's indexed vs. not indexed status?

It shows the Google indexing status at the time of the scan and saves the current and previous results so you can track changes. IndexChecker uses Google's official 'site:' operator to check real-time indexing status, providing accurate results at the moment of scanning.

Difference between Not Indexed, Deindexed, and Indexability?

Not Indexed = page is not currently in Google index; Deindexed = page was previously indexed but has been dropped; Indexability = technical eligibility for indexing (robots.txt, noindex tags, canonicals, etc.). IndexChecker shows all three statuses for comprehensive analysis.

Can I check without signing up? What's the free limit?

Yes, check up to 27 URLs for free without logging in. No credit card required. Perfect for testing the tool or checking a small set of important pages. Pro plan unlocks unlimited projects and 2,500 URLs per project.

How many URLs per project?

Up to 2,500 URLs per project. Create another project if you need more. Each project can have different schedules, labels, and indexing API integrations for organized monitoring.

Best way to upload URLs, paste, CSV, or sitemap?

Paste for small lists (under 50 URLs), CSV for exported lists or exported from Google Search Console, XML sitemap for full-site import. All methods support bulk processing and duplicate detection.

Does duplicate detection save credits?

Yes, duplicates are automatically detected, so you don't waste checks. IndexChecker identifies identical URLs and only checks once, saving your scanning credits for unique pages.

What schedule should I use for rechecks?

Daily for new/important pages, weekly for regular sites, monthly for stable pages. Use Auto Stop to halt checking once pages are indexed, or set continuous monitoring for deindexing alerts.

What does Auto Stop do?

It stops checking URLs once they're indexed to save scans. Turn it off if you want ongoing monitoring for potential deindexing. Perfect balance of efficiency and comprehensive tracking.

Do bulk indexing requests use credits?

Not when using supported third-party APIs; those requests don't deduct IndexChecker credits. IndexChecker handles the indexing submission while preserving your scanning budget.

Which third-party APIs can I connect to, and how do I add the key?

Connect services like LinksIndexer or Indexception by pasting your API key in the Indexing Requests section, keep it private. API keys are encrypted and never shared. Multiple API providers supported.

What is a URL Slug Generator?

Discover how this essential tool transforms your page titles into clean, powerful, and SEO-friendly URLs.

Crafting Perfect Permalinks

A URL Slug Generator is a specialized tool that converts a page title or string of text into a web-friendly URL slug. A "slug" is the part of a URL that identifies a specific page, typically appearing after the domain name. This tool automates the process of creating clean, readable, and search-engine-optimized slugs from any input.

Why It's Crucial for SEO

Search engines like Google use the words in your URL slug as a key signal to understand what your page is about. A well-crafted slug that includes your target keyword can significantly improve your page's ranking. This generator ensures your slugs are formatted correctly by removing special characters, converting spaces to hyphens, and applying other best practices.

Anatomy of an Optimized Slug

Learn the best practices that this generator automates to give you a competitive edge in search results.

Best Practices Automated

An effective URL slug is short, descriptive, and easy to read. Our generator applies these rules automatically:

Lowercase: Converts all characters to lowercase to prevent server issues and improve readability.
Hyphenated: Replaces all spaces with hyphens (-), which Google recommends as the preferred word separator.
Removes Special Characters: Strips out characters like `?`, `#`, `&`, and `%` that can break URLs or confuse search engines.

Advanced Optimization Options

Go beyond the basics with powerful, professional-grade settings:

Remove Stop Words: Automatically removes common, low-value words (like 'a', 'the', 'in') to make your slug more concise and keyword-focused. For example, "a guide to the best apples" becomes "guide-best-apples".
Keyword Prioritization: By providing both a title and a target keyword, the generator can create variations that strategically place your most important keyword for maximum SEO impact.

Your Questions, Answered

Get clear answers to common questions about URL slugs and SEO best practices.

Should I use hyphens or underscores?

You should always use hyphens (-). Google has explicitly stated that it treats hyphens as word separators, which helps it understand the content of your URL. Underscores (_), on the other hand, are treated as word joiners, meaning Google would see "best_apples" as a single, nonsensical word. Our generator defaults to hyphens for this reason.

Is this URL Slug Generator free?

Yes, absolutely. This premium URL Slug Generator is 100% free for everyone. There are no subscriptions, hidden features, or limitations on its use. Our goal is to provide a powerful, professional, and easy-to-use tool for content creators, SEOs, and developers alike.
