Slug is the part of a URL that identifies a specific page with short, human-readable words. It is usually made by lowercasing a post title and replacing spaces and special characters with hyphens, and blogs and CMSs use it instead of numeric IDs so that the content can be guessed just from the address. Because titles can collide, a short identifier such as nanoid is sometimes appended to guarantee uniqueness.
