# Introduction
The `WixRouterRequest` object breaks the URL of the incoming router request
into different parameters for easy access.


 The URL is broken into:
 + [`baseUrl`](wix-router/wix-router-request/base-url)
 + [`prefix`](wix-router/wix-router-request/prefix)
 + [`path`](wix-router/wix-router-request/path)
 + [`query`](wix-router/wix-router-request/query)
 + `hash` (for optional fragment identifier descriptions)

#### Premium Sites

For premium sites, the URL of the site router request has the following format:
**`https://www.domain.com/myPrefix/myPath?myQuery=myValue#myHashDesc`**

+ **baseUrl**: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;`https://www.domain.com`
