Common errors

A plain domain is pasted instead of a full URL

Fix: This tool works best with full URLs. Add the protocol if the input cannot be parsed.

Fix: This tool returns the hostname, which may include subdomains.

The input contains invalid URL formatting

Fix: Paste a clean full URL like https://example.com/path.
