Break any URL into protocol, host, path, parameters, and hash.

  category: media
  sort: new
hash: #result

Guide / 01

When to use it

Use it to identify the real host and path in a long tracking URL and separate query parameters and a fragment while debugging a link.

Guide / 02

Quick guide

  1. Enter the complete URL including http:// or https://.
  2. Read the separated protocol, host, pathname, query, and hash fields.
  3. Compare decoded query values with the request specification and inspect host or redirect parameters before trusting the link.

CHECK

Validate the result

Enter https://example.com/a?x=hello%20world#top and confirm that the host is example.com, x is hello world, and the hash is #top.

LIMITS

Know the limits

The standard browser parser checks URL structure only; it does not visit the address or assess domain safety, redirects, or DNS. A bare example.com without a scheme is rejected.

FAQ

Frequently asked

What is the difference between host and pathname?

The host is the server name, optionally including a port, while the pathname identifies a resource on that server. In https://example.com:8443/a they are example.com:8443 and /a.
