How it works What the URL Parser does

Pulls one part out of every URL: the path, the last segment (slug), the host, the root domain, the subdomain, the TLD, the first folder, the folder depth or the query string. Knows two-part TLDs such as .co.uk and .com.au.

Pulls one piece out of every URL: the path, the last segment (the slug), the first folder, the folder depth, the host, the root domain, the subdomain, the top-level domain, or the query string. Root domain and TLD understand two-part endings such as .co.uk and .com.au, so shop.example.co.uk gives example.co.uk.

Lines that are not URLs are passed through unchanged.

3 steps How to use the URL Parser

  1. Paste your list into the box above — one item per line. Keyword exports, crawl exports and spreadsheet columns all work.
  2. Check the settings and adjust them to your job — the result updates as you type.
  3. Copy the result and paste it wherever it needs to go. Nothing is uploaded, so client and confidential data stay on your machine.

The host includes subdomains (blog.example.com); the root domain does not (example.com).

The number of folders in the path, e.g. /guides/running/shoes/ has a depth of 3.
