TL;DR —
A page's URL is made up of several parts that are detailed below. Your site's URL looks different depending on whether you have a premium site or a free site. Base URL is the URL of your home page. The protocol is the start of both types of URLs. The path follows the prefix if there is no prefix, it follows the base URL. The query is a list of keys and values and the path follows a path if one exists. The base URL of a page is the URLs of your site's pages.
