URL vs. Link
The address of a resource versus a clickable element pointing to one.
The comparisoni
“Click on the LINK — links are clickable elements. The URL is the underlying address (https://...).”
The ruleii
¶
URL = address. LINK = the click.
URL: Uniform Resource Locator — the full address of a web resource (https://example.com/page). LINK: a clickable element in a document that points to a URL. Loose usage uses them interchangeably; strictly, the link contains the URL.
Memory aidiii
Remember it like this
URL underlies the link.
