What Is a URL? A Complete Guide to Website URLs [Guide]
A website URL, or Uniform Resource Locator, is a string of letters and numbers that leads to a website. It’s the address of a specific webpage or file on the internet.
Semrush has published ‘What Is a URL? A Complete Guide to Website URLs’.
Tushar Pol says, “A URL points your browser to the exact spot—be it a webpage or file—that you want to view.
This matters because there are billions of resources across more than a billion websites.
URLs uniquely identify each one, from your homepage to your dog’s Instagram account. And get you where you want to go.
This benefit is on the user’s side.
On the website developer’s side, URLs are equally crucial.
Developers use URLs when handling a website’s hypertext markup language (HTML).
They use URLs to create links between different pages using the anchor element (also called an <a> tag). This lets you connect webpages and allows users to navigate between them.”
