A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is the address of a resource on the web. Let's break down its components:

  1. Protocol 🌐
    Starts with http:// or https:// to specify data transmission rules.

  2. Domain 🏠
    The website name, like example.com, which identifies the server hosting the resource.

  3. Path 📁
    Specifies the location of a file or page on the server. For example:
    /en/guide/url-structure → this path points to a guide about URL structure.

  4. Query Parameters ❓
    Optional data sent to the server, usually after a ?. Example:
    ?sort=asc&filter=active → filters and sorts content.

  5. Fragment Identifier 🔗
    Anchors to a specific section of a page, starting with #. Example:
    #section-2 → jumps to the second section.
