# Base

See how the HTML base element sets a document base URL in Thulite SEO, including its effect on relative links and in-page anchor navigation.

The `<base>` HTML element specifies the base URL to use for all *relative* URLs in a document.

## In-page anchors

Links pointing to a fragment in the document — e.g. `<a href="#some-id">` — are resolved with the `<base>`, triggering an HTTP request to the base URL with the fragment attached.

For example, given `<base href="https://example.com/">` and this link: `<a href="#anchor">To anchor</a>`. The link points to `https://example.com/#anchor`.
