Abstract
The subject matter described in this disclosure can be embodied in methods and systems for receiving, by a computing system, a request to normalize an input Uniform Resource Locator (URL). The computing system identifies a user account to which the request to normalize the input URL relates. The computing system determines a selected set of URL normalization rules that are identified as being activated for the user account from among a larger collection of URL normalization rules. The computing system normalizes the input URL using the selected set of URL normalization rules to generate a normalized URL. The computing system stores information that results from an analysis of the input URL in association with an indication of the normalized URL.
