Why are my URLs breaking?

URLs can break when they contain unencoded special characters like spaces, ampersands or non-ASCII letters. Percent-encoding these characters ensures the URL is valid and works correctly in all browsers.

Can I encode just part of a URL?

Yes. Use the component encoding mode to encode only the value portion of a query parameter while leaving the rest of the URL structure intact.
