Wide Web
Uniform Resource Locator
A URL is nothing more than the address of a

given unique resource on the Web. In theory,
each valid URL points to a unique resource.
Such resources can be an HTML page, a CSS
document, an image, etc.
https://www.techtarget.com/
searchnetworking/definition/URL
Here are some examples of URLs:
Parts of a URL
• Using the URL https://www.techtarget.com/whatis/search/query?
q=URL as an example, components of a URL can include:
• The protocol or scheme. Used to access a resource on the
internet. Protocols include http, https, ftps, mailto and file. The
resource is reached through the domain name system (DNS) name.
In this example, the protocol is https.
• Host name or domain name. The unique reference the represents
a webpage. For this example, whatis.techtarget.com.
• Port name. Usually not visible in URLs, but necessary. Always
following a colon, port 80 is the default port for web servers, but
there are other options. For example, :port80.
Parts of a URL
• Path. A path refers to a file or location on the web server. For this
example, search/query.
• Query. Found in the URL of dynamic pages. The query consists of a
question mark, followed by parameters. For this example, ?.
• Parameters. Pieces of information in a query string of a URL. Multiple
parameters can be separated by ampersands (&). For this example,
q=URL.
• Fragment. This is an internal page reference, which refers to a section
within the webpage. It appears at the end of a URL and begins with a
hashtag (#). Although not in the example above, an example could be
#history in the URL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet#History.
• URLs can be very long if the different parts are complex. Most times,
modern web browsers won't display the full URL visibly in the address
bar. Browsers will often only display the domain name. If the address
bar is clicked and highlighted, the full address will be displayed.
• The following are some examples of different URLs that are common
to find on the internet.
• https://www.apple.com/ - Apple's main website is fairly simple and
since there is nothing following the domain name except a forward
slash, which is required, it takes the user to the website's homepage.
• https://www.apple.com/mac/ - This URL is also from Apple, but the
address isn't the same. After the forward slash is the word 'mac.' This
address will take the user to a page that is linked to the homepage.
• https://study.com/ - The homepage for study.com doesn't display the
www. That is not an error, but a choice by the administrator. The www
is not required and acts as more of a traditional placeholder. In fact,
most websites can still be accessed without typing in the www.
• https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?
fs=1&tf=cm&source=mailto&su=Question+from+Website&to=questio
[email protected] - This URL is called a mailto and tells the web browser
that the address is actually pointing to opening an email program.
This will prompt the browser to open whatever email program is set
up as the default for the system. In macOS, a mailto URL will open
Apple's mail application as a default.
