Absolute vs. Relative URL
A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) tells a browser where to find a resource (like a web page, image, or file).
| Aspect | Absolute URL | Relative URL |
|---|---|---|
| Definition | A complete URL that includes the protocol, domain, and path to the resource. | A partial URL that provides the path relative to the current page’s URL. |
| Example | https://www.example.com/images/logo.png |
images/logo.png |
| Usage | Used when linking to resources from another website or outside the current path. | Used for resources within the same website or project folder. |
| Portability | Less portable (depends on the exact domain). | More portable (works if the folder structure remains the same). |
