Glossary EntryOn-Page
URL Slug
The last, human-readable part of a URL — the 'organic-cotton-sheets' in yourstore.com/bedding/organic-cotton-sheets. Good slugs are short, keyword-bearing, and hyphenated; bad ones are ?p=4922. Changing a slug on a live page requires a 301 redirect from the old address, or the page's history is lost.
