: Correct terminology for permalinks, canonical URLs, and SEO words in the URL I am working on a site where the term "permalink" refers to the SEO-adaptation of the title of a post. The URL

I am working on a site where the term "permalink" refers to the SEO-adaptation of the title of a post. The URL structure is a WordPress-like structure, like:
example.com/<year>/<month>/<date>/<permalink>/

So if the title is "Hello world", this <permalink> entity would be hello-world.

But I think this is wrong and I would like to change it, because I think the term "permalink" should refer to the entire URL.


Am I correct so far?
What is then the difference between the terms "permalink" and "canonical URL"? Would this actually be a canonical URL, instead of a permalink?
Is there a conventional term for what hello-world would be in my case? (or, in my case, what would I have to rename the term "permalink" to)
