How to use this tool
Paste a complete URL for analysis. Relative paths can resolve against this site's origin, so first make them absolute if they came from a different site.
Results and examples
https://example.com/a?x=1#top yields host example.com, path /a, query x=1 and fragment top. A default port can normalize to an empty value displayed as default.
Worked example
https://example.com/a?x=1#top yields host example.com, path /a, query x=1 and fragment top. A default port can normalize to an empty value displayed as default.
Limitations
- Valid URL syntax does not prove availability or safety.
- Original encoding and normalized output need not match character for character.
