What Is a URL Parser?
A URL parser breaks a full web address down into its individual parts: the protocol, the domain, the path, and any query parameters. This is useful for debugging redirects, checking tracking parameters, or understanding what a long link actually points to before clicking it.
Parts of a URL
- Protocol: the scheme used to load the resource, usually
https:orhttp:. - Hostname: the domain name, such as
example.com. - Port: an optional number specifying which port to connect to, often left out because the protocol has a default.
- Path: the part after the domain that points to a specific page or
resource, such as
/products. - Query parameters: key-value pairs after a
?, used to pass extra data like search terms or tracking codes. - Hash: the part after a
#, often used to jump to a section of a page. - Origin: the protocol plus hostname plus port combined, the base identity of the site.
How to Parse a URL
- Paste a full URL into the box above.
- Click Parse.
- Review each part, along with a table of any query parameters.
URL Parser Examples
For https://example.com/products?id=123&utm_source=google#details,
this tool would show a hostname of example.com, a path of
/products, two query parameters (id and
utm_source), and a hash of #details.
Frequently asked questions
What does a URL parser show?
It breaks a URL down into its protocol, hostname, port, path, query parameters, hash, and origin.
Can I parse a URL without a protocol?
Yes. If you paste a bare domain such as example.com/page, https is assumed automatically.
What are query parameters?
Query parameters are key-value pairs added after a question mark in a URL, commonly used for search terms, IDs, and tracking codes.
Is this URL parser free?
Yes. It is free to use and does not require signup.
