What is a URL slug?

A URL slug is the part of a web address that identifies a specific page. It appears after the domain and usually comes from the page title. For example, in "example.com/how-to-make-pizza", the slug is "how-to-make-pizza". Slugs are typically lowercase, use hyphens instead of spaces, and avoid special characters. Search engines use slugs to understand page content, and readable slugs can improve SEO. Our slug generator creates clean slugs from any text.
