A slug is a part of a URL that makes it more human readable or SEO-friendly, but without necessarily being required by the web server. Slugs can be generated from a page title and are typically the last part of the url.

Example:

  • Page Title: c# - What's the difference between String and string? - Stack Overflow
  • Slug: whats-the-difference-between-string-and-string

The full URL including the slug is https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7074/whats-the-difference-between-string-and-string. Note that punctuation in the url is typically removed.
