Safari shows only the URL (Domain) name when you visit a web page by default. For example, when you open a blog article with a slug, they show only the domain name in Safari. However, the latest versions of macOS introduce an innovative feature that lets you see the full website address within the Safari URL bar.

If that’s the scenario, you’re blindly going to the website but aren’t aware of the precise URL for the article you are viewing. Therefore, if you would like to view the entire URL of the website in the Safari app, you must look up the article and then display the complete URL in the Safari URL bar.
