A URL is the address of a resource on the Internet, specifying its location on a computer network and a mechanism for retrieving it. It is commonly known as a web address. URLs are used to access web pages and files on the internet. They include a protocol (like HTTP or HTTPS), domain name (or IP address), and may also contain a path to a specific file or resource within a website. Understanding URLs is crucial for web navigation, website development, and managing online resources.
