Page Fields
1. Label
This will be used for displaying your page internally. The label has no effect on the content your visitors will see. Keep it short and descriptive.
2. Slug
A slug could also be considered a filename or directory name. It is displayed in the page URL. The slug should be very similar the title of the post.
Requirements:
Required, 100 character max, lowercase letters, numbers, dashes (substituted for spaces)
Examples:
http://www.intrenix.com/ about
http://www.intrenix.com/about/ leadership
http://www.intrenix.com/about/leadership/ steven-carmo-full-stack-developer
http://www.intrenix.com/ services
http://www.intrenix.com/services/ application-development
http://www.intrenix.com/services/ search-engine-optimization-seo
As you can see in the examples above, a slug serves as a directory name for sub pages. Changing the slug of a parent page will cause a ripple effect to all sub pages.
For instance, if I changed "about" to "about-intrenix", both "leadership" and "steven-carmo-full-stack-developer" pages would automatically generate new urls. This would render the "page not found" errors for their old urls.
3. Layout
Select the layout that will be used with the page. In most circumstances there will be a "default" and a "default home".
4. META Title
Meta titles serve two main purposes. First, it's the title you will see in your browser (tab title or window title). Second, many search engines use the META Title as link text for search engine results.
Without a META title, Google and other search engines will attempt to create a generic META title.
Requirements:
None
- Google displays the first 50-60 characters. Keep it less than 70 characters.
- Keep the most relevant information at the beginning
- Should be unique. If two pages with the same exact meta title are listed in google, confusion occurs.
5. META Description
META description is a short summary of the page content. In some cases Google (and other search engines) will use the meta description as the listing description in search engine results.
Without a META Description, Google will use random page content. This can get very messy depending on how the page content is formatted.
Requirements:
None
- Google displays the between 140-160 characters.
- Should be unique.
