Host (Domain)

The domain name or IP address of the server

Port

The port number on the host (defaults to 80 for HTTP, 443 for HTTPS)

Path

The file path on the server

Query Parameters

Data sent to the server as name/value pairs

Fragment (Hash)

Links to a specific section within the page

Encoded Components

URL-encoded special characters

Visual URL Breakdown

About URL Structure

A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is composed of several components that define how to access a resource on the web:

protocol://username:password@domain:port/path/to/resource?param1=value1&param2=value2#fragment

About This App

This tool is useful for analyzing URLs and understanding how URLs are structured. It's particularly useful for investigating malicious URLs.

This app runs entirely in your browser and does not send any data to the server. It uses JavaScript to parse and decode the URL you enter, then displays the components in an easy-to-read format.

Short-Term TODO List

🌛 Add dark mode
🧛🏻 Provide defanged URL for sharing (WIP, just a stub function right now)
📇 Consider decoding parameter names, in addition to values.
🚀 Improve intelligent base64 decoding. This is surprisingly tricky. Tips welcomed.
🛻 Dump to copy/pastable JSON
~~🌟 Improve base64 detection~~
~~🕵🏻‍♂️ Attempt to decode params and path components~~
