URL Web Address

Last Updated March 2026

A Web URL, or Uniform Resource Locator, is an Internet address, for example, https://www.utexas.edu/. The URL usually consisting of:

  • the access protocol – https,
  • the domain name – www.utexas.edu, and
  • optionally the path to a file or resource residing on that website

After you save your page, the Slug in the right-hand column displays the automated Web URL address. The URL is generated from your Page Title. Non-alpha-numeric characters are stripped and a dash is put between each word. You can manually change your Page’s URL by clicking the page link. However, it’s not recommended that you edit the URL of pages that have already been published.
