SEO Friendly URL Checker

Checks the URL is readable — lowercase, hyphenated, no long parameter strings.

What this tool checks

  • URL is human-readable

    Checks the URL path for uppercase letters, underscores, spaces, excessive query parameters and file extensions that reduce readability.

    Why it matters: Clean, descriptive URLs are easier for people to read and share. Google recommends words in URLs over long ID numbers and parameters.

    If it fails: Use lowercase words separated by hyphens; avoid underscores, spaces and long parameter strings.

  • URL length is reasonable

    Flags URLs longer than ~115 characters.

    Why it matters: Very long URLs are awkward to share and can be truncated in search results and social previews. Length is not a ranking factor.

    If it fails: Keep URLs short and descriptive where practical.
