Takes no arguments. Reads: page. Use it to find the id to pass as `page`.
+
+The URL comes from the HTTP or router report. A page that sends neither (no router, and no [HTTP setup](../getting-started/express.md)) still shows the URL its component tree reports, which also stands in when the other reports are more than 15 seconds older. A tab in the background stops reporting until it is shown again, so its last report is marked `(background)`: an old time there means the data is the last known state, not that the page is gone.
