What is URL Analysis?
URL analysis involves breaking down a web address into its component parts: protocol, domain, path, query parameters, and fragments. This helps developers debug, understand data flow, and troubleshoot web applications. All analysis is performed client-side.
URL Components Explained

- Domain: example.com - the website address
- Path: /page/subpage - the specific page location
- Query String: ?key=value - data passed to the server
- Fragment: #section - anchor link to page section
- Port: :8080 - specific server port (optional)
