Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? Here are the answers about URL Parser

What are the parts of a URL?

A URL consists of protocol (https), hostname (www.example.com), port (443), path (/page), query string (?key=value), and fragment (#section). Each part serves a specific purpose.

What is the difference between hostname and domain?

The hostname includes subdomains (www.example.com) while the domain is just the registered name (example.com). The TLD is the extension (.com).

Is this tool safe to use?

Yes. URL parsing happens entirely in your browser using the JavaScript URL API. No data is sent to any server.

What is a query string?

A query string is the part of a URL after the ? mark. It contains key=value pairs separated by & that pass data to the server or application.

What is the origin?

The origin is the combination of protocol + hostname + port (e.g., https://example.com:443). It's used by browsers for same-origin security policies.

Can I parse relative URLs?

This tool works best with absolute URLs that include a protocol. Relative URLs like '/page' don't contain enough information for full parsing.

Is URL Parser free?

Yes! URL Parser is 100% free with no limits and no sign-up required. Parse as many URLs as you need.

What is a TLD?

TLD stands for Top-Level Domain, it's the last part of a domain name like .com, .org, .net, or .io. Country-code TLDs include .uk, .de, .jp, etc. The parser extracts this automatically from any URL.
