It is a prefix commonly used in website URLs (Uniform Resource Locators) to indicate that the following address is a location on the World Wide Web.

[{"selector":"#anim-7e63c7a5-ab81-4bb7-a750-0658883a31f4","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-112.03704%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-67e86da1-7afb-41df-a8f2-58e8400befdf","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(-180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fa9ab8bd-4504-4c57-89cc-e1c7d50c3ae6","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(1)","scale(1.5)","scale(0.95)","scale(1)"],"offset":[0,0.33,0.66,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}] Plus

When you enter a website address into a browser, the “www” is a subdomain that often points to the web server hosting the website’s main content.

[{"selector":"#anim-6262f2d2-435a-40a8-a0bb-7c8a6632448c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.45429%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-643af607-3926-44b6-b280-07b0cd619243","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fc67eb93-0a91-4c27-8476-490ddf8893a1","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(1)","scale(1.5)","scale(0.95)","scale(1)"],"offset":[0,0.33,0.66,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}] Plus

For example: With “www”: www.example.com Without “www”: example.com

Both versions can lead to the same website, and many websites support access with or without the “www” prefix. The choice to include or exclude “www” is often a matter of preference and is configured by the website’s administrator.

However, it has been a convention to include “www” in URLs for many years. Nowadays, the trend is moving toward simpler, cleaner URLs without the “www” prefix, but both forms are widely used.
