> I work with senior citizens and tried to explain how to parse the domain in the URL by looking for the first forward "/" after the "https://" and then scan backwards but they find that mental algorithm confusing and those instructions don't stick. Might try explaining it this way? It works the same way as a postal address. The first part before `/` is the envelope: by analogy it runs streetaddress.city.country. You can give a name to your house, or add an apartment to the front - but that doesn't change the most significant part.
