Best use cases

Common mistakes
The input is too broken to parse into a valid normalized URL.
Fix: Paste a complete valid URL before trying to normalize it.
The user expects content-level canonicalization beyond simple cleanup.
Fix: Remember that normalization cleans the URL string, but does not know site-specific canonical rules.
Encoded values are decoded or changed unexpectedly.
Fix: Review the output carefully if exact encoded query values matter.
