URL Parser

How to use this URL parser

  1. Paste any full URL into the field above.
  2. It instantly breaks down into protocol, hostname, port, path, query parameters, and hash.
  3. Useful for debugging redirects, webhooks, or understanding a complex link.

What are the parts of a URL?

A URL is structured as protocol://username:password@hostname:port/pathname?query#hash. Each part serves a specific purpose — the protocol defines how to connect, the hostname identifies the server, and the query string carries parameters to the application.

What is the "origin" of a URL?

The origin combines protocol, hostname and port (e.g. https://example.com:8080). Browsers use it to enforce security boundaries like the Same-Origin Policy.

Why is the port sometimes empty?

If a URL doesn't specify a port, the browser uses the protocol's default (80 for HTTP, 443 for HTTPS), so this tool shows "(default)" instead of a number.
