On your web browser’s URL bar type www.w3wiki.org

• Now to get back to the home page you simply remove everything after the first “/” and make it as https://www.w3wiki.org/
• Now press ENTER and you will be redirected to the Homepage of GFG.
• Now for most of the well designed websites, you don’t need to do all these things to get back to the homepage, just click on the website’s icon shown and you will be re-directed to the Homepage of that website.
