Relative Path

A Relative Path refers to the partial address of a file or page based on its relation to the current location, as opposed to its full internet address.

More About Relative Paths

While an absolute path provides the full URL (like “http://example.com/folder/file.html”), a relative path might simply be “folder/file.html”, indicating its location in relation to the current page.

Relative paths are commonly used in website coding to simplify linking and ensure that links remain intact even if the site’s domain changes.
