The solution of @manojlds converts all odd characters in the supplied string. If you want to do escaping for URLs only, use

[uri]::EscapeUriString($SitePath)

This will leave, e.g., slashes (/) or equal signs (=) as they are.

Example:

# Returns http%3A%2F%2Ftest.com%3Ftest%3Dmy%20value
[uri]::EscapeDataString("http://test.com?test=my value")

# Returns http://test.com?test=my%20value
[uri]::EscapeUriString("http://test.com?test=my value")
