Opti SaaS allowing periods in the url
When using Opti SaaS to create a new page that includes a period, the resulting URL segment also contains the period. For example, if you create a page titled "Online on Oct. 4," the URL segment generated will be "online-on-oct.-4," which may render the page inaccessible. It is recommended that the SaaS product automatically remove periods from the URL segment when creating pages.

The current url segment generation is based on the RFC 3986 where punctuation is a valid character to include in a URI, see section 2.3 in ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt.
Could you elaborate on the problems you're seeing with these characters in URL's, as reality doesn't always have to align with theory when it comes to these things!
