What is a Slug?
A URL slug is the human-readable part of a web address that comes after the domain—usually lowercase words separated by hyphens, like /blog/my-first-post. Good slugs help visitors and search engines understand the page.
How to Create SEO-Friendly URLs
- Use short, descriptive phrases that match the page topic.
- Prefer hyphens between words instead of underscores or spaces.
- Keep letters and numbers; avoid long IDs and stuffed keywords.
