How to use URL Inspector

What this tool helps you do

URL Inspector separates a website address into components and lists its decoded query parameters. It parses the address locally without navigating to it or contacting its host.

When it is useful

  • Debugging a query string
  • Inspecting repeated tracking or filter parameters
  • Checking a path, port or fragment

A practical example

https://example.com/search?q=hello+world&tag=pdf&tag=image#results has host example.com, path /search, fragment results, and three query parameters. q decodes to hello world; both tag values remain visible.

Limitations and common mistakes

Parsing does not establish that a site is safe, genuine or reachable. A syntactically valid URL can still be misleading. Default ports can disappear through normalization; this is expected browser behavior. Query values can contain private tokens even when account credentials are omitted, so check a report before sharing it.

How to use URL Inspector

  1. Paste a complete HTTP or HTTPS URL.
  2. Choose Inspect URL.
  3. Review its components and query parameter rows.
  4. Copy or download the JSON report if needed.

Inputs and processing

Runs locally, with a 10,000-character URL limit. Uses the browser URL parser, which normalizes hostnames and default ports. Path and fragment keep percent escapes; query names and values are decoded by URLSearchParams, where + becomes a space. Duplicate query keys retain their order. Credentials are flagged as present but username and password are omitted from the report.

Frequently asked questions

Does this open the URL?

No. It parses the text without fetching the destination.

Why do I see two rows with the same key?

URLs can contain repeated query parameters. Both are preserved rather than overwritten.
