It converts your page title or phrase into a clean, readable URL slug that helps both visitors and search engines understand the page instantly.
A slug is the part of the URL that identifies a specific page on your website in readable form. For example in the URL example.com/ultimate-guide-to-seo the slug is ultimate-guide-to-seo. A well chosen slug improves click through rate, supports readability and contributes to better search engine performance.
What Is a URL Slug
