Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is another name for a web address. URLs are made of letters, numbers and other symbols in a standard form.[1] People use them on computers, to make the computer fetch and show some specific resource (usually a web page) from another computer (web server) on the Internet. They do this by typing the URL into a web browser, or more often clicking a link, for example one on a web page that they are already seeing.
URLs consist of several parts:
In some cases, the URL may also contain
The URL of this page is https://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Uniform_Resource_Locator
A shorter form, called a ("relative") URL, is used when a computer could correctly fill in the full ("absolute") URL from context. For example, of view_html.php?sq=Yale school of management&lang=simple&q=URL only works for a link on Wikipedia to this page on Wikipedia. Absolute URLs can be shared outside of computers, even with little or no explanation.
