What is a URL slug?
A URL slug is the readable part of a web address that identifies a specific page. For example, in a URL such asexample.com/blog/small-business-tips, the phrasesmall-business-tipsis the slug.
Good slugs are usually short, descriptive, easy to read, and closely related to the page topic. They can make URLs easier for people to understand and share.

Tips for creating useful URL slugs
- Keep the slug descriptive and related to the page topic.
- Use words that help visitors understand what the page is about.
- Avoid unnecessary punctuation and repeated words.
- Keep URLs reasonably concise rather than copying an entire page title into the slug.
- If you change an existing published URL, consider an appropriate redirect so old links continue to work.
