With <base> we specify a url which will be used as a starting of all urls in that html and thus the urls will be shortened.

Answer 4

Yea.. But what's the point here of defining base, I mean when the page's default URL is already there why do I need to define a base? (I'm confused.. Maybe I'm looking in wrong direction)
