URL

Website address

A URL, which stands for Uniform Resource Locator, is essentially the address of a specific webpage or file on the Internet. It’s similar to a postal address in the real world, but instead of leading you to a physical location, a URL takes you to a digital destination. Every time you visit a website by typing something into your browser or clicking on a link, you are using a URL.

A typical URL could look like this: https://www.example.com/page.html. Here’s a quick breakdown of its parts:

  • https:// – This is the scheme or protocol, indicating how data between the webpage and your device should be exchanged securely.
  • www.example.com – This is the domain name, which directs you to the specific website you want to visit, much like naming the building in a postal address.
  • /page.html – This is the path, pointing to a specific page or file on that website, like specifying a particular room in a building.

URLs are crucial because they help users easily navigate the web and find specific content among billions of webpages. They are also essential for creating links between websites, which is a fundamental part of how the internet functions, allowing information to be interconnected and accessible.

Understanding URLs can help you better navigate the Internet, ensuring you know how to accurately use and share web addresses for everything from sending emails to browsing your favourite sites.
