About Pinging URLs instead of Domains
The ping command accepts only the domain name, so if you copy a URL from a browser, you always need to manually delete the protocol there.
As a workaround, you can create a wrapper function in ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc that accepts any URL or domain:
pingurl() {
ping "$(echo "$1" | sed -E 's#^(https?://)?([^/]+).*#\2#')"
}
Use it as follows:
$ pingurl https://example.com
