About This Tool

The URL Validator & Inspector analyzes any URL in real time, breaking it down into its individual components and validating its structure using the browser's native URL API.

It displays protocol, hostname, port, path, query string, fragment, TLD, HTTPS status, www prefix, and localhost detection. Query parameters are extracted and shown in a separate key/value list.

How to Use

  1. Type or paste a URL into the input field.
  2. The result updates instantly — green Valid URL or red Invalid URL.
  3. Review the breakdown table for all URL components.
  4. Query parameters are listed separately below the main breakdown.

Use Cases

Developers validate API endpoint URLs before making HTTP requests. QA engineers verify redirect targets in test scripts. SEO specialists check canonical URLs for correct structure. Security researchers analyze suspicious URLs for malicious components.

FAQ

  • Does the tool require http:// or https://? — Yes. The native URL API requires a full URL including protocol. Without it, the URL is considered invalid.
  • What is TLD? — Top-Level Domain. For example.com it shows 'example.com'. For sub.example.co.uk it shows 'co.uk'.
  • Why does a valid-looking URL show as invalid? — The URL must include a protocol (http://, https://, etc.). Relative URLs like /path/to/page are not valid by this definition.
