Absolute URLs are URLs that start with a scheme [5] (e.g., http:, https:, telnet:, mailto:) [6] and conform to scheme-specific syntax and semantics. For example, the HTTP scheme-specific syntax and semantics for HTTP URLs requires a "host" (web server address) and "absolute path", with optional components of "port" and "query".
Therefore, URLs are a subset of URIs, ie. every URL is a URI (and not necessarily the other way around). [2] Other URIs provide only a unique name, without a means of locating or retrieving the resource or information about it; these are Uniform Resource Names (URNs). The web technologies that use URIs are not limited to web browsers.

For some years, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has been running a major Semantic Web project designed to make the whole web increasingly useful and meaningful to today's and the future's information systems. The microformats movement is an attempt to build an idea of semantic classes.
[4] [a] URLs occur most commonly to reference web pages (HTTP/HTTPS) but are also used for file transfer , email , database access , and many other applications. Most web browsers display the URL of a web page above the page in an address bar.
Usability benefits are facilitating copying the hyperlink target URL or title if the browser or a browser extension offers a "Copy link text" context menu option for hyperlinks, the ability for the original URL to be retrieved from a saved page if not stored by the browser into a comment inside the file, as well as the ability to duplicate the ...
Caching Behavior: Many web browsers cache 301 redirects. This means that once a user's browser encounters a 301 redirect, subsequent requests to the original URL will be automatically directed to the new URL without contacting the server. Updating Bookmarks: Browsers may update bookmarks to reflect the new URL after encountering a 301 redirect.
