The URL Parser is a diagnostic utility for developers and SEO analysts. Web links are composed of multiple elements, including protocols, subdomains, domain names, folder paths, query strings, and hash fragments. This tool breaks down any URL string into these component parts, making it easy to audit parameters.

Processing is done locally in your browser, maintaining full security for query targets.

Parse URL

How to Use

1

Paste URL

Paste the full URL string (e.g. 'https://sub.site.com/path?id=123#top') in the input.

2

Parse Elements

Click 'Parse URL'. The tool instantly extracts the protocol, host, path, query, and hash parameters.

3

Audit Parameters

Review the structured parameters tables to inspect query keys and values.

Why This Tool Is Useful

Inspect Redirect Parameters: See exactly what query strings are appended to complex URLs.

Debug Links: Easily identify missing protocols or wrong folder paths in developer assets.

100% Client-Side: Safely inspect links without sending web search strings to external servers.

Practical Example

An SEO auditor inspects an ad landing link: 'https://myshop.com/shoes?source=fb&camp=fall'. The parser breaks it down: Host: 'myshop.com', Path: '/shoes', and lists the query variables ('source=fb', 'camp=fall') in a neat key-value table.

Limitations

Parses standard URL strings (RFC 3986). It does not check if the URL is active or returns a 200 status code.

FAQ

What is a protocol in a URL?
The protocol is the communication scheme used (usually 'http:' or 'https:').
What does host mean?
The host is the full domain name, including subdomains (e.g. 'sub.example.com').
What is a query string?
The query string is the part of the URL following the '?' that contains parameters (e.g. '?id=10&category=shoes').
How does it parse URL fragments?
It extracts the hash fragment ('#') which points to a specific element ID on the destination page.
Does it save my URLs?
No. The parsing is done locally using standard JavaScript URL objects in your browser.
