Just ran some tests. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong.
When setting a page’s type of content:
- Using the slug field (discover/mneary) costs 0.3 WU
- Using the unique id (discover/1725868206392x791840279691264000) costs 0.015.
The difference is because technically finding a thing by it’s slug is triggering a search. Finding by unique ID is just a lookup which is computationally cheaper.
What’s more, if your page’s thing has a slug set but you’re using the unique id in the url then Bubble will default to using a slug and incur the search workload cost.
