A url (uniform resource locator) is the string of words and symbols that makes an address on the internet.


A url

If you type in www.qrimp.com into the location bar of your web browser, you have just written a url.

Links on websites are also urls.

A url usually has two parts. A file path leads to a location on the internet, like a website, and query strings contain parameters that specify which data from a site or database to pull back into your browser for display. Query strings are used when a website communicates with a database - the information in the query string tells the database which data to pull in to the web browser.
