Can I Encrypt A URL?

HTTPS helps keep your browsing safe by securely connecting your browser or app with the websites you visit. HTTPS relies on encryption technology—SSL or TLS—to secure these connections. This report provides data on the status of HTTPS adoption and usage at Google and across the web.

Does SSL hide URL?

Therefore, you should not assume that SSL/TLS hides from an eavesdropper which pages you are visiting. Yes, https does provide integrity for the URL you visited.
