What is a URL?

  1. Universal Routing Language
  2. Uniform Resource Locator ✓
  3. User Requested Link
  4. Uniform Request Language

Explanation

URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator, which is a web address. It tells your browser exactly where to find a website or file. URLs include the protocol (http), domain name, and sometimes a specific page path.

URLs aren’t about routing or requesting. They’re standardized addresses for internet resources. Every website has a unique URL.

When you type www.example.com, you’re entering a URL. It directs your browser to the right location on the internet.
