When structuring a new website page or blog post, the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) serves as one of the very first signals to Google's search algorithm. A messy, poorly formatted URL that contains unencoded spaces or chaotic unicode symbols causes crawling issues. A URL reading like website.com/my new awesome page!!! will break entirely, or be forcibly appended with random characters by the browser. To make the URL 'SEO friendly' and perfectly readable by social media algorithms sharing your links, all these dangerous pieces must be cleanly URL encoded.

However, for optimal Search Engine Optimization (SEO), just replacing spaces with `%20` is sometimes not enough. Best practices dictate removing special characters and replacing spaces with hyphens (-) for human readability. Our tool takes care of the raw percentage-encoding if your CMS requires strict RFC compliant uncompromised multi-language characters.
