URL Splitter
Split URLs into individual components like scheme, protocol, authority, subdomain, domain, TLD, path, and more. Process multiple URLs at once with bulk splitting capabilities.

URL splitting is the process of breaking down a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) into its individual components for analysis and understanding. This technique is essential for web development, SEO analysis, and data processing tasks where understanding URL structure is crucial.
When applied to URLs, splitting reveals the underlying structure including protocol, domain hierarchy, path organization, and parameter usage. This information is valuable for website optimization, API development, and security analysis.
URL Components Explained:
- Scheme: The protocol identifier without colon (http, https, ftp)
- Protocol: Complete protocol specification with colon (http:, https:)
- Authority: Combination of hostname and port number
- Host: The complete host specification including port
- Hostname: The domain name or IP address of the server
- Subdomain: Prefix before the main domain (www, api, blog, mail)
- Domain: The main domain name without subdomain or TLD
- TLD: Top-level domain extension (.com, .org, .co.uk)
- Port: Network port number (80 for HTTP, 443 for HTTPS, or custom)
- Resource: Specific file or resource name with extension
- Directory: Path to the directory containing the resource
- Path: Complete pathname from the server root
- Query: Parameters passed to the server (?param=value¶m2=value2)
- Hash: Fragment identifier for client-side navigation (#section)
Use Cases:
- SEO Analysis: Examine URL structure for search engine optimization
- Web Development: Debug and analyze URL patterns in applications
- API Development: Parse endpoint structures and parameters
- Data Processing: Extract domains and paths from large datasets
- Security Analysis: Identify suspicious URL components and patterns
- Content Migration: Analyze URL structures during website migrations
What is URL splitting?
URL splitting is the process of parsing and breaking down a URL into its individual components such as protocol, domain, subdomain, path, and parameters. This analysis helps understand URL structure and extract specific parts for various applications.
What URL formats are supported?
Our tool supports all standard URL formats including URLs with protocols (http://, https://), URLs without protocols (example.com, www.example.com), URLs with custom ports, international domains, and URLs with query parameters and fragments.
Can I process multiple URLs at once?
Yes, the tool supports bulk processing. Simply paste text containing multiple URLs, and it will automatically detect and extract all valid URLs from the content, then split each one into its components.
How are subdomains identified?
The tool uses intelligent parsing to identify subdomains by analyzing the domain structure. It recognizes common subdomains like www, api, blog, mail, and handles complex TLD structures like co.uk and com.au correctly.
What export formats are available?
You can export results in four formats: TXT (plain text), PDF (formatted document), Excel/XLS (spreadsheet), and CSV (comma-separated values). All exports include complete component breakdown and processing metadata.
How are invalid URLs handled?
Invalid or malformed URLs are clearly marked with error messages explaining the specific issue. The tool continues processing valid URLs while flagging problematic ones, helping identify and fix URL problems in your data.
