How do create a Permalink? What is the difference between URL and permalink?

Hi, there is not a huge difference between these two!

Url is your complete web address including the domain name whereas permalink is the address of a particular post; the part of slug after the domain name is called a permalink.

I hope you understood.

The permalink is the full URL you see – and use – for any given post, page or other pieces of content on your site. It's a permanent link, hence the name permalink. It could include your domain name (www.yoast.com) plus what's called a slug, the piece of the URL that comes after the domain name.

A permalink (permanent link) is a unique and unchanging URL (Uniform Resource Locator) for a webpage, blog post, or other piece of content published on the internet. When this URL address is entered into your browser or clicked as a hyperlink, it takes you directly to that specific page.

A permalink, also known as a persistent link, durable link, or stable link, is a URL that connects directly to a specific library resource. Unlike many URLs, a permalink is designed to not break. You can easily find a permalink for any resource in OneSearch in the "Send To" portion of the record. Select Permalink:

A permalink (permanent link) is a URL that points to a specific post or page on a website. Permalinks are commonly used in blog articles, but they can also be used on other types of websites.

To create a permalink for a post or page, you need to first publish it. After the post or page has been published, locate the URL and Copy it. Then, paste the URL into the address bar of your web browser and press Enter. The permalink for the post or page will load in your browser window.

Permalink define your website URL structure, which is more user friendly. Normally we prefer dashed(-) in URL.
