What is URL Classification?

URL Classification software utilizes natural language processing and machine learning algorithms to analyze the content of webpages and categorize their URLs into relevant topics or categories. This allows for better organization and filtering of URLs at scale.

Some of the key features of URL Classification tools include:

• Crawling and indexing large numbers of URLs from across the web
• Extracting textual content from webpages to analyze
• Developing categorical classification models based on labeled URL data
• Automatically assigning categories or tags to new URLs
• Providing filtering, search, and reporting based on URL categories
• Continuous learning to improve classification accuracy over time

URL Classification is useful for web filtering, targeted advertising, market research, content recommendations, and security threat detection. For example, schools can filter URLs based on assigned categories, and security analysts can flag pages that get classified as malware or phishing. Overall, these tools help make better sense of vast amounts of web content.
