URL component inspector controls in Elementor
Address sets the starting address, adding https:// when it is missing, other schemes, unticking tracking parameters and hiding passwords. Behaviour turns the parts list, parameters table, notes, Copy JSON and live updates on or off. Labels sets the heading and every label and button. The Style tab covers the layout, parts and parameters, fields, the clean address panel and buttons.
03 / Website use cases
Where to use url component inspector
Long links hide what they contain: which website they really go to, what each query parameter is, and which parts only track the click. URL component inspector splits any address into its parts with the same rules browsers use, flags tracking parameters and other details, and gives a clean copy with only the parameters the visitor keeps.
Support pages
Help visitors read a suspicious link before opening it.

07 / Requirements and compatibility
URL component inspector compatibility with Elementor
- Requires Elementor.
- Reads addresses; it does not visit or check them.
- Runs in the visitor’s browser.
Complementor uses classic Elementor APIs. Atomic-native controls are not implemented. Check your theme, cache and integrations on a staging site before release.
08 / Common setup problems
Troubleshoot url component inspector
Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.
Why was https:// added?
Addresses without a scheme get https:// so they can be read; turn that option off to require a scheme.
Why does the clean address look different?
Browsers lower-case the website name and encode spaces; the clean copy shows the address as they read it.
Why is a mailto: link refused?
Only http and https are inspected unless Inspect other schemes too is on.
Why is the password hidden?
Hide passwords in the results is on, and the clean address leaves credentials out.
URL component inspector plugin questions
Does it need Elementor Pro?
No. It works with the free version of Elementor.
Does it open the link?
No. The address is only read in the browser; it is never visited or sent anywhere.
Which tracking parameters are unticked?
utm_ parameters and click IDs such as fbclid, gclid, msclkid, mc_eid and _hsenc.
Can I keep a tracking parameter?
Yes. Tick it in the table and the clean address includes it.
Can I use it as a simple link cleaner?
Yes. Turn off the parts list and parameters table.
