name is the text that a user types into a browser window to
reach a particular website.
 Domain Name
Each segment of the domain name separated by a period is called a
domain. The domain on the right is called a top-level domain/suffix,
with the domain to the left of it called the second-level domain, then
third-level domain, and so on.

other asset. The path resides after the hostname and is
separated by “/” (forward slash).

Parameters are added to the end of a URL after a ‘?’ symbol, and
multiple parameters can be included when separated by the ‘&’ symbol.

The anchor tells your browser to scroll to or load a specific
part of the page.
