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, short for Uniform Resource Locator or web address, is a specific character sequence that points to a resource. In web browsers, you see the URL in the address bar at the top of the page, like “https://en.example.org/wiki/Main_Page.” Technically, a URL is a type of Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), but people often use “URL” and “URI” interchangeably without any issues.

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

A URL is like a web page’s address you see in your browser’s bar. It starts with “https://” or “http://” (where “https” means secure). Each URL is unique and doesn’t have spaces or certain characters like apostrophes.
