1 Paste the URL

Include the full URL with https:// — analysis is instant and private.

2 Scoring options

Lenient is kinder to long CMS-generated URLs; strict is for perfectionists.
Filler words like "the" and "and" in the slug.
Year/month paths like /2024/03/ make content look stale.

How it works

  • Step 1 — Paste the full URL (with https://).
  • Step 2 — Optionally tune the scoring: standard, lenient, or strict deductions, and toggle the stop-word and date checks.
  • Step 3 — The tool runs ten SEO readability checks — length, hyphens vs underscores, case, slug word count, stop words, repeated words, non-ASCII characters, query strings, HTTPS, and dates — then scores the URL out of 100 with a fix-it checklist.

Everyday uses

  • Bloggers — clean up slugs before publishing new posts.
  • SEOs — audit client URLs during a site review.
  • E-commerce — product URLs with session IDs or uppercase SKUs hurt; check before launch.
  • Developers — validate auto-generated URLs from a CMS.

Rule of thumb: under 60 characters, lowercase, hyphens only, no stop words, and the core keyword near the front of the slug.
