Hello friends,

What are the 5 parts of a URL?

Hi Friends,
A URL consists of five parts:-  the scheme, subdomain, top-level domain, second-level domain, and subdirectory

sinelogixtech is right!
Anything else do you want to know about the same?

URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator it's a web address that uses a mechanism of identifying a partner website in the network and retrieve the desired information a typical URL starts with HTTP or HTTPS.

URL may consist of as many as 6 parts. The different parts of the URL are:

1. Scheme or Protocol
2. Host or Domain Name
3. Port
4. Path (/)
5. Query string (?)
6. Fragment id or hash (#)

URL=scheme:[//domain:port]path[?query_string][#fragment_id]

Depends on how deep you want to go

Example URL:
https://www.example.org:80/something/this.html?param1=value1&param2=value2#here

breaks down into;

    Scheme(https:// (also known as "protocol"))
    Domain (www.example.org.uk)
        Subdomain (www)
        DomainName (example.org.uk)
            TLD (.uk (top level domain))
            SLD (.org (second level domain))
    Port (:80)
    Path (/something/this.html)
        Directory Path (/something/)
        File Path (this.html)
            File Name (this)
            File Extension (.html)
    Query (?param1=value1&param2=value2)
        Parameter and Value Pair (param1=value1)
        Parameter and Value Pair seperator (&)
    Fragment (#here)
