URL Analyzer

Paste a URL and get its complete anatomy: every component, every parameter with tracking classification, and informational security signals. The analysis is purely syntactic — no site is contacted.

What does the URL Analyzer do?

A URL is a small protocol of its own: a scheme, a hostname (sometimes written in Unicode), an optional port, a path, a query string full of parameters, and a fragment. The analyzer takes your link apart layer by layer — canonicalizing the host (punycode for internationalized domains), decoding the path, and listing every query parameter in order, including duplicates. It then classifies the parameters against a versioned registry of known tracking names (UTM, analytics, advertising click IDs, session identifiers) and reports conservative, informational security signals.

Why analyze a URL before opening it?

  • Know what you are sharing — a tagged campaign URL or a clean one; see exactly which tracking parameters ride along before you post or forward it.
  • Spot credentials and session identifiers in links. Passwords in URLs are never displayed anywhere; sensitive parameter values are masked automatically.
  • Understand internationalized domains. IDN hosts are shown in both Unicode and punycode form, so you can see what a link really says.
  • Get a reproducible, canonical view. The normalized form shows the URL the way a server would interpret it — encoding, case, and default ports included.

How to use it

Paste any http(s) URL and press Analyze. You get an overview with a copyable normalized URL, the component breakdown, the ordered parameter list with classification badges, tracking counts, normalization notes, and informational signals. Everything renders locally in your browser session — the tool never contacts the target site, and analyses are not stored.
