Protocol</h3> <div style="height:16px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <p style="font-size:16px">If you’ve ever wondered what those ‘HTTP’ or ‘HTTPS’ prefixes in a URL mean, they’re the protocol. They set the rules for how data is sent and received from a web server to view content over the World Wide Web.</p> <div style="height:16px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <ul style="font-size:16px" class="wp-block-list"> <li><strong>HTTP:</strong> Stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol, and it’s used to transmit hypertext over the internet.</li> </ul> <div style="height:16px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <ul style="font-size:16px" class="wp-block-list"> <li><strong>HTTPS:</strong> Is HTTP Secure, an extension of HTTP. It uses encryption to keep data safe during transmission.</li> </ul> <div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <h3 class="wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size">2. Domain Name</h3> <div style="height:16px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <p style="font-size:16px">The domain name identifies where the resource, or ‘house,’ is located. This section, coming after the protocol, is usually an IP address or domain, possibly a subdomain, depending on the resource’s specific location.</p> <div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <h3 class="wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size">3. Path</h3> <div style="height:16px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <p style="font-size:16px">The ‘path’ in a URL is crucial for page navigation, directing the browser to the specific page within an identified domain. Essentially, it’s the hierarchical order of folders indicating where the desired web page resides. For example, in “www.mybranded.link/blog/seo-tips,” the string of text that reads ‘/blog/seo-tips’ constitutes the path.</p> <div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <h3 class="wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size">4. Query Strings</h3> <div style="height:16px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <p style="font-size:16px">A URL might also contain search parameters or a query string – often noticeable in search result URLs. Search parameters narrow down what the browser is looking for on a page, providing you with relevant results.</p> <div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <h3 class="wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size">5. Port Number and Fragment Identifier</h3> <div style="height:16px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <p style="font-size:16px">The network port, a less common component, dictates how the connection should be established with the server, acting much like the front door of the house. </p> <div style="height:25px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <p style="font-size:16px">The specific reference point, termed a ‘<strong>fragment identifier</strong>,’ points browsers to a specific part, such as an anchor, within an HTML file. Have you ever clicked on a link and found yourself not at the top of a page but midway? That’s a fragment identifier at work! Anchors are not only restricted to text content; they can also be used in a video or audio document.</p> <div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" style="font-size:26px"><strong>How Do URLs Work?</strong></h2> <div style="height:16px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <p style="font-size:16px">When you enter a URL in your browser’s address bar, you’re essentially giving directions on where to locate the online resource you need.

They do this by adding URLs to their databases and associating them with specific keywords. When you perform a search query, these URLs appear in the results. Each URL represents a potential source of the information you’re looking for.</p> <div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <h3 class="wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size">The Importance of URL Structure</h3> <div style="height:16px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <p style="font-size:16px">A well-structured URL is not only easier for search engines to index but also more likely to be accurately associated with relevant keywords.</p> <div style="height:25px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <p style="font-size:16px">Properly structured URLs are more likely to achieve higher rankings in search results. Search engines use complex algorithms to rank URLs by relevance, prioritizing the most relevant matches first. This underscores the significance of a well-organized URL structure in the overall performance of a web page in search outcomes.</p> <div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" style="font-size:26px"><strong>HTTPS Vs. HTTP</strong></h2> <div style="height:16px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <p style="font-size:16px">HTTPS and HTTP are network communication protocols used for exchanging information between web servers and web browsers. These protocols transmit and retrieve data via the domain name system (DNS) and deliver it back to the browser.</p> <div style="height:16px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li style="font-size:16px">HTTP is the standard method, but it’s not secure because it doesn’t encrypt or protect the data. </li> </ul> <div style="height:16px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <ul style="font-size:16px" class="wp-block-list"> <li>HTTPS is HTTP’s more secure counterpart.

Relative URLs:</strong> An absolute URL offers a complete web address for surfing the Internet, detailing the protocol to the specific file location. On the other hand, a relative URL is leaner, providing a shorter representation that relies on the current domain as a reference point. </li> </ul> <div style="height:16px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li style="font-size:16px"><strong>Canonical URLs:</strong> Canonical URLs are the definitive or ‘accepted’ version of a web address.

Now, let’s dive a bit deeper and visit a specific page within that site, say a blog post. The URL changes slightly to accommodate this: <strong>http://www.example.com/blogpost</strong> </p> <div style="height:25px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <p style="font-size:16px">Now, suppose we wanted to look up a specific article using a search function on the website. In that case, our URL may look something like this: <strong>http://www.example.com/search?query=article_name</strong>. </p> <div style="height:25px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <p style="font-size:16px">If the website has a secure connection (HTTPS), it lets visitors know that the site is relatively safe. For instance, a trusted shopping site’s URL could be <strong>https://www.shoppingwebsite.com</strong>.</p> <div style="height:25px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <p style="font-size:16px"><a href="https://tinyurl.com/blog/the-power-of-custom-url-shorteners-a-practical-guide/">Custom Vanity URLs</a> are another fascinating type.
