Hello friends,

What's the difference between link and URL?

[RH-Calvin]

They both are same. A Uniform Resource Locator, colloquially termed a web address, is a reference to a web resource that specifies its location on a computer network and a mechanism for retrieving it. A URL is a specific type of Uniform Resource Identifier, although many people use the two terms interchangeably.

Hi Friend,
URL is an abbreviation that stands for "Universal Resource Locator." It's another name for a web address, the text that you type into your internet browser when you want to go to a website. A URL works like a house address. If you give someone a house address, they can navigate to find a home or business.

A link can be any text or image that you can click on that takes you to another page or file, either on your website or elsewhere on the internet.

The difference between a link and a URL doesn’t matter if you’re just having a casual conversation about getting a direct path to some content on a web page.
