Uniform Resource Locator (URL)

A Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is the address used to find a specific resource—like a webpage or file—on the internet. Think of it as a digital GPS that directs your browser to the exact location of the content you want to view. A URL contains information such as the website's domain name (like www.example.com), the path to a particular page or file, and sometimes additional details like parameters or settings. When you enter a URL, your browser uses it to connect to the server hosting the resource and display the content.
