Q: Does this tool check if the website is live? A: No, this tool validates the syntax and structure of the URL string itself, not the status of the destination server.
Q: What is the difference between a URL and a URI? A: A URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) is a sequence of characters that identifies a resource. A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is a specific type of URI that also provides the means to locate the resource.
Q: How does it handle Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs)? A: The validator identifies non-ASCII characters in the domain that may require Punycode conversion for compatibility.
