# Introduction

 The setter methods in `@wix/site-location` can only be used when browser 
 [rendering](https://dev.wix.com/docs/develop-websites/articles/coding-with-velo/frontend-code/page-rendering/about-page-rendering.md) happens,
 meaning you can only use them in frontend code after the page is ready. 
 You can use the getter methods for both server-side or browser rendering.


 The URL is broken into:

 + [`path`](https://dev.wix.com/docs/sdk/frontend-modules/location/path.md)
 + [`query`](https://dev.wix.com/docs/sdk/frontend-modules/location/query.md)
