Anatomy of a URL

A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is structured as: scheme://user:password@hostname:port/path?query#fragment. Each component serves a distinct purpose: the scheme defines the protocol (https, ftp, mailto), the hostname identifies the server, the path locates the resource, the query string passes key-value parameters, and the fragment identifies a section within the document.

Frequently Asked Questions

A URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) is the broader concept — it identifies a resource. A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is a type of URI that also specifies how to locate/access the resource (via a protocol like https). All URLs are URIs, but not all URIs are URLs. In practice, the terms are often used interchangeably for web addresses.
The query string is the part of a URL after the ? symbol. It contains key-value pairs separated by &: ?name=Alice&age=30&city=London. Keys and values are URL-encoded, so spaces become %20 or + and special characters are percent-encoded. Duplicate keys are valid — some servers interpret them as arrays.
The fragment (hash) identifies a specific section within a document using an element's id attribute. For example, /page#section-2 scrolls to the element with id="section-2". The fragment is never sent to the server — it is handled entirely by the browser. Single-page applications (SPAs) often use the fragment for client-side routing.
