Short for Uniform Resource Locator, a URL is the address of a given unique resource (document or web page) on the web (www). A URL has several components:
- Scheme: It identifies the protocol to be used to access the resource on the Internet (HTTP and HTTPS are two of the most common protocols).
- Host or Domain Name: It identifies the host that holds the resource. For example, www.naukri.com
- Path: it is the exact location of a resource on the webserver
- Query string: It consists of data to be passed to server-side scripts, running on the webserver
- Here is an example of a URL: https://www.naukri.com/learning/articles/seo-interview-questions-answers/
