About this tool

Resolve URL references with an explicit base and privacy policy, then inspect the browser's normalized interpretation without requesting the destination.

URL Parser helps developers, marketers, SEOs, and support teams break a copied link into its protocol, origin, host, path, hash, and query parameters. It is useful when a long campaign link, redirect destination, callback URL, or support ticket needs to be inspected without writing a script.

  • Uses the browser WHATWG URL implementation with explicit auto, absolute-only, and base-resolution modes.
  • Preserves query entry order and raw encoding evidence while flagging duplicate keys, empty entries, five standard UTM keys, credentials, and IDN punycode.
  • Redacts likely URL passwords and token-style query or fragment values by default, blocks stale export, and downloads a versioned JSON report.

How to use URL Parser

Paste a full URL or a bare domain, then review the parsed URL parts, query parameter table, UTM count, duplicate key warnings, and copy-ready JSON summary. Use the parameter table to catch empty values, repeated keys, tracking mistakes, or fragments that should not be sent to a server.

When this tool is useful

  • When checking UTM links before sharing a campaign URL.
  • When debugging redirect destinations, callback URLs, or support tickets with long query strings.
  • When confirming whether duplicate parameters, empty values, or fragments are causing unexpected behavior.

Practical tips

  • Check duplicate keys before sending links to analytics or ad platforms.
  • Confirm whether the hash fragment is expected because it is not sent to servers in normal HTTP requests.
  • Use URL Encoder when a parameter value needs escaping after you inspect it.

Examples you can test

Load an example, compare the result with the expected output, then replace it with your own input.

Inspect a campaign link

Example input

https://example.com/page?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=launch

Expected output

Protocol, host, path, and three UTM query rows

Campaign QA is easier when each UTM value is visible as a separate row.

Find duplicate query keys

Example input

https://example.com/search?q=json&q=schema#results

Expected output

Duplicate q parameter flagged

Duplicate keys can be valid, but they often reveal copied link mistakes or ambiguous tracking behavior.

Validation checklist

  • Check whether the protocol and hostname match the intended destination.
  • Review duplicate query keys before sharing analytics or redirect links.
  • Confirm UTM source, medium, campaign, content, and term values are spelled consistently.
  • Check whether hash fragments are expected because they are client-side only.
  • Use encoded values when copying parameters into systems that expect percent-escaped input.

Frequently asked questions

Can I parse URLs without a protocol?

Yes. Auto mode treats a bare host as HTTPS. Relative references such as /path, ../asset, ?query, #fragment, and //host are resolved against the displayed HTTP(S) base URL.

Does the parser decode query parameter values?

Yes. It uses the browser URL parser, so percent-encoded query values are shown in decoded form in the parameter table.

Can it find duplicate query parameters?

Yes. It preserves every query entry in source order, counts distinct duplicate keys, and shows both decoded values and raw percent-encoding evidence.

Is this different from a URL encoder?

Yes. A URL encoder transforms characters for safe transport, while this parser breaks an existing URL into components and query rows for inspection.

Does the report expose passwords, tokens, or authorization codes?

Likely secrets are redacted by default in the normalized URL, component fields, query table, fragment, copied report, and download. Turn redaction off only when the exact local evidence is necessary, and review the report before sharing it.

Is my URL sent to a server?

No. Parsing runs locally in your browser.
