It is the <strong>complete address<\/strong> that tells your browser <strong>exactly where<\/strong> to go. This can be the homepage &#8211; or a very specific subpage such as a blog article, a contact page or a product.  \n\n<h2>What parts does a URL consist of?<\/h2>\nMost URLs consist of several parts. The graphic above shows the typical structure: \n\n<ul class=\"bullet\">\n  <li><strong>Protocol (https:\/\/)<\/strong> &#8211; shows how the connection is established (today almost always secure with https)<\/li>\n  <li><strong>Subdomain (www)<\/strong> &#8211; optional addition in front of the domain<\/li>\n  <li><strong>Domain name (bscwebdesign.at)<\/strong> &#8211; the name of the website<\/li>\n  <li><strong>Domain extension (.at)<\/strong> &#8211; e.g. .at, .de, .com<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div class=\"tip-box\"><strong>Important:<\/strong>\nThe URL usually also contains a <strong>domain<\/strong>.

Simply explained \n<\/a>.\n<\/div>\n\n<h2>And what is the &#8220;path&#8221; in a URL?<\/h2>\nIn addition to domain &amp; protocol, URLs often have a part <strong>after the domain<\/strong>. This is the so-called <strong>path<\/strong> (sometimes also called &#8220;URL path&#8221; or &#8220;slug&#8221;).

It is the link that you see in the browser and can click on or share. A URL not only leads to a website in general, but often to a very specific subpage &#8211; for example to a contact page, a blog article or a product. This is exactly why a URL is so important: it shows you <em>exactly where<\/em> you are on a website.   \n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"faq\"><summary>What is the difference between URL and domain?<\/summary>\nThe domain is the name of the website (e.g. <em>bscwebdesign.at<\/em>). The URL is the complete address including protocol and often including the path &#8211; e.g. <em>https:\/\/bscwebdesign.at\/blog\/was-ist-eine-url.<\/em> Simply put: the domain is part of the URL, but the URL is more because it also contains the exact location (path). More about this here:    \n<a href=\"https:\/\/bscwebdesign.at\/en\/blog\/what-is-a-domain-simply-explained-with-examples\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">What is a domain?<\/a>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"faq\"><summary>What does https mean in a URL?<\/summary>\n&#8220;https&#8221; is the protocol and stands for a secure connection. It ensures that data is transmitted in encrypted form. Today, https is standard for modern websites because it creates trust and browsers can otherwise display warnings. For you as a website creator, this means: make sure that your website is always accessible via https.   \n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"faq\"><summary>What is a URL path (e.g. \/shop or \/contact)?<\/summary>\nThe path is the part of the URL that comes after the domain. It shows which subpage you are opening. Examples are <em>\/contact<\/em>, <em>\/shop<\/em> or <em>\/product\/name<\/em>. Good paths are short and clearly describe the content of the page. This helps visitors and can also support SEO because the link is immediately understandable.    \n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"faq\"><summary>Which URL is good for SEO?<\/summary>\nSEO-friendly URLs are short, understandable and contain meaningful words instead of cryptic characters. For example, <em>\/blog\/what-is-a-url<\/em> is better than <em>\/?p=123<\/em>. It is also important to have a clean structure (e.g. \/blog\/ for blog articles) and that you do not constantly change URLs. If you do change something, you need redirects to avoid 404 errors.   \n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"faq\"><summary>Can I change a URL later?<\/summary>\nYes, you can &#8211; but be careful. If you change a URL, old links no longer work automatically. This can annoy visitors and cost SEO because Google and other websites still know the old address. That&#8217;s why you should always set a redirect (301) from the old URL to the new one when making changes. If you are planning your website, it is best to define URLs clearly from the start.    \n<\/details>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<style>\n
