Uniform Resource Locator (URL)
TL;DR: A Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is a reference or address used to access resources on the internet. It specifies the location of a resource as well as the protocol needed to retrieve it.
Although domain names are synonymous with URLs, they are two different things. The domain name is only part of the Uniform Resource Locator (URL). While the URL is the complete website address, including the scheme (HTTPS) up until the subdomain or directory (/category/). Without URLs, people won’t be able to navigate the internet.
