Whilst the URL is the full link, the slug is the smaller part that identifies a specific page.
For example, a URL could be https://example-website.com/name-of-the-page and the slug would be “name-of-the-page”.
Along with the page title and page description, the slug is utilised by users when selecting a webpage in search engine result pages.
It helps the user identify the page’s purpose, which helps the user decide if the page can help them accomplish a specific task.
To achieve positive SEO results, the slug should be short, easy to read and contain the suitable keyword. The slug should be lowercase, have spaces converted into hyphens and special characters should be removed.
The chosen keyword should indicate the purpose of the page, which encourages users to click the link.
