To cite a website using MLA 9th edition style, follow this basic format: Last name, First name. “Page or Article Title.” Website Name, Day Month Year published or updated, URL.For example: Smith, Jane. How Plagiarism Checkers Work. Quetext Blog, 12-Mar-2026, www.quetext.com/blog/example.
If there is no author, cite the title; if there is no date of publication, do not record that information. In MLA format, you must provide the URL (specifying the actual entry itself) at the end of the citation and omit the prefix (e.g., https://).
