URL Structure

There are several structures of URL namely:

Protocol

Protocol in the URL determines how data is transferred between host and client. HTTP and HTTPS are the two most common protocols which you will find on the most URLs. Here is the example https://example.com

Domain Name

A domain name is a string or sentence used by Domain Name System(DNS) to describe a specific area. The domain name comes before Top Level Domain (TLD), such as google.com where the bold sentence is the Domain Name.

Path / File

Path refers to the location on the page, file, or content on a website. Paths come after the hostname and are separated by a “/” (slash). Path/file also consists of any file extension, such as image (.jpg or .png, etc.), document (.pdf or .docx), such as https://www.example.com/media/image.jpg where the bold word is the path.
