What is a URL?

What Do You Mean by “URL?”

The acronym “URL” signifies “Uniform Resource Locator.” Here’s the definition sourced from Wikipedia:

A URL, an abbreviation for Uniform Resource Locator or web address, is a specific character sequence that directs to a resource. In web browsers, the URL is visible in the address bar at the top of the page, such as “https://en.example.org/wiki/Main_Page.” While technically a URL is a type of Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), people often use “URL” and “URI” interchangeably without any issues.

I trust that this clarifies matters effectively, don’t you agree?

A URL serves as a web page’s address displayed in your browser’s bar, often starting with “https://” or “http://” (with “https” indicating a secure connection). Each URL is distinct and excludes spaces or specific characters like apostrophes.
