A to Z about WordPress Slug You Must Know

The “slug” in WordPress refers to the element of the site's URL that appears after the domain name. The first portion of "wptechonline.com/blog-post" is the domain name, and "blog-post" is the post slug if you read a blog post at "wptechonline.com/blog-post."

The appropriate slug for a page is also important for SEO. So, if we're not talking about creatures that devour plants, what exactly is a slug? What is the point of optimizing it? In this article, we'll explain all you need to know.

Every post you create will have the same slug as the title, but with a lowercase letter and a dash instead of a space. If you start a blog and write a post titled "My first blog post," the default post slug will be "my-first-blog-post." You can, of course, modify it at any moment.

Why do you want your post's slug to be personalized? Slugs make it easier to find a specific page on a website. They will aid users and search engines in determining the page's content. Personalizing your slugs will improve your site's SEO ranking and create a better user experience.
