What is a URL Slug?

A URL slug is the user-friendly part of a web address that comes after the domain name. It describes the content of a specific page in a simple, readable format. For example, in the URL.

A good URL slug:
• Is short and descriptive
• Uses only lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens
• Avoids spaces and special characters

Using clean and meaningful slugs helps improve SEO, makes links easier to share, and gives visitors a clear idea of what to expect on the page.
