Where an absolute URL is the full URL (with the protocol subdomain, domain, and path) a relative URL is a way to link to a resource (like a webpage, image, or file) using a path that\u2019s relative to the current page&#8217;s location, rather than providing the full web address.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Absolute URL: <a href=\"https:\/\/digitalnomadshq.com.au\/glossary\/relative-url\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/digitalnomadshq.com.au\/glossary\/relative-url\/<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Relative URL: \/glossary\/relative-url\/&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Put simply, it\u2019s assumed that the browser will know the context of the relative URL based on the current page&#8217;s location.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When to Use Relative URLs&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Relative URLs work best <strong>w<\/strong>hen you\u2019re linking to other pages or resources on your own site.
