What is a URL slug?
A slug is the human-readable part of a URL that identifies a page, such as /blog/how-to-use-json. Good slugs are lowercase, use hyphens as separators, and contain only letters, numbers, and hyphens.
Are accented characters removed?
Yes. Accented characters like é, ñ, and ü are currently stripped. Consider manually replacing them with their ASCII equivalents before conversion for best SEO results.
