A URL is the full address used to find a page or file on the internet. It is like a mailing address that includes the place, street, and the particular room or destination.
For example, a URL can include the website name followed by a path to one article. A secure web address often begins with “https://”.
Sharing the right URL takes someone to the intended place. A short domain name by itself usually reaches the site's front page, while the extra path identifies a particular page.
