I have a default drupal site install which i am carrying out some tests on and i noticed the clean URL setting so turned it on and it just takes out the ?q= in the URL for admin pages.

For my site pages the URL is domain.com/node/1

Is there a module or some way to get this as an SEO friendly URL such as a page being called UK Cars and the URL being domain.com/uk_cars

Any suggestions?

Cheers

You only need the core module "Path", when its enabled a new field appears on node/add forms where you can enter a path alias.

Pathauto is good if you want your paths written automatically using token replacement (requires the token module), for smaller sites I just use Path, I only use Path auto for larger site with a lot of publishing activity.

Pimp your Drupal 8 Toolbar - make it badass.

My understanding is that pathauto is for automatically generating such URLs, so it's more than programmer247 is asking for.

When you create or edit your content there's a place on the form where you can enter the URL you want. You enter it without the domain and leading slash, so you'd just put in uk_cars. You may have to click on a dropdown to see that part of the form.

I ended up using path, pathauto + token and went with the automated solution which works great.

Thank you to all who posted
