URL - Universal Resource Locator

The URL is the address that defines the route to a website, page or any other resource on the Internet. URLs are typed into a web browser to access web pages and files, and URLs are embedded within the pages themselves as hypertext links. The URL contains the protocol prefix, port number, domain name, subdirectory names and file name.

Friendly URLs
URL addresses are known as friendly when they are easily read by human visitors. Search engines favour friendly URLs because they lack long parameters and session IDs. Toptimmised provides a search engine friendly URL solution for sites which have dynamic URL problems.
