Frequently Asked Questions

Protocol, hostname, and pathname — each is marked ✓ Match or ✗ with both differing values shown side by side.

No — this tool only checks protocol, hostname, and path; if your two URLs differ only in query parameters or a #fragment, that difference won't be flagged.

Confirming a canonical tag points to the exact URL you expect, verifying a redirect landed on the intended destination, or checking that a staging URL and its production equivalent only differ in hostname.

The tool prompts you to enter two valid URLs, since it relies on the browser's native URL parser to break each one down for comparison.
