The protocol property sets or returns the protocol of the current URL, including the colon (:).

This means that if you want to get only the HTTP/HTTPS part you can do something like this:

var protocol = window.location.protocol.replace(/:/g,'')

For the domain you can use:

var domain = window.location.hostname;

For the port you can use:

var port = window.location.port;

Keep in mind that the port will be an empty string if it is not visible in the URL. For example:

http://example.com/ will return "" for port
http://example.com:80/ will return 80 for port

If you need to show 80/443 when you have no port use

var port = window.location.port || (protocol === 'https' ? '443' : '80');

As has already been mentioned there is the as yet not fully supported window location origin but instead of either using it or creating a new variable to use  I prefer to check for it and if it isn t set to set it   For example   if   window location origin      window location origin   window location protocol          window location hostname    window location port         window location port           I actually wrote about this a few months back A fix for window location origin

Indeed  window location origin works fine in browsers following standards  but guess what  IE isn t following standards   So because of that  this is what worked for me in IE  FireFox and Chrome   var full   location protocol      location hostname  location port       location port         but for possible future enhancements which could cause conflicts  I specified the  window  reference before the  location  object   var full   window location protocol      window location hostname  window location port       window location port

Try use a regular expression  Regex   which will be quite useful when you want to validate   extract stuff or even do some simple parsing in javascript   The regex is        a-zA-Z           - w            d 0 5        Demonstration   function breakURL url         matches      a-zA-Z           - w            d 0 5      exec url         foo   new Array          if matches             for  i   1  i  lt  matches length   i     foo push matches i                   return foo    url    https   www google co uk 55699 search q http 3A 2F 2F amp oq http 3A 2F 2F amp aqs chrome  69i57j69i60l3j69i65l2 2342j0j4 amp sourceid chrome amp ie UTF-8    breakURL url             https  www google co uk  55699   breakURL                   breakURL  asf              breakURL  asd              breakURL  asd   a        asd  a  undefined    Now you can do validation as well

None of these answers seem to completely address the question  which calls for an arbitrary url  not specifically the url of the current page   Method 1  Use the URL API  caveat  no IE11 support   You can use the URL API  not supported by IE11  but available everywhere else    This also makes it easy to access search params   Another bonus  it can be used in a Web Worker since it doesn t depend on the DOM   const url   new URL  http   example com 12345 blog foo bar startIndex 1 amp pageSize 10      Method 2  old way   Use the browser s built-in parser in the DOM  Use this if you need this to work on older browsers as well       Create an anchor element  note  no need to append this element to the document  const url   document createElement  a        Set href to any path url setAttribute  href    http   example com 12345 blog foo bar startIndex 1 amp pageSize 10      That s it   The browser s built-in parser has already done its job  Now you can just grab the parts you need  note that this works for both methods above        Get any piece of the url you re interested in url hostname        example com  url port           12345 url search           startIndex 1 amp pageSize 10  url pathname         blog foo bar  url protocol        http     Bonus  Search params  Chances are you ll probably want to break apart the search url params as well  since   startIndex 1 amp pageSize 10  isn t too useable on its own   If you used Method 1  URL API  above  you simply use the searchParams getters   url searchParams get  startIndex         1    Or to get all parameters   function searchParamsToObj searchParams      const paramsMap   Array      from url searchParams       reduce  params   key  val     gt  params set key  val   new Map       return Object fromEntries paramsMap     searchParamsToObj url searchParams      - gt    startIndex   1   pageSize   10      If you used Method 2  the old way   you can use something like this      Simple object output  note  does NOT preserve duplicate keys   var params   url search substr 1      remove     prefix params      split   amp         reduce  accum  keyval    gt            const  key  val    keyval split               accum key    val          return accum                 - gt    startIndex   1   pageSize   10
