# WKBackForwardListItem

A representation of a webpage that the web view previously visited.

```
@MainActor class WKBackForwardListItem
```

## Overview

Use a [`WKBackForwardListItem`](/documentation/WebKit/WKBackForwardListItem) object to get information about previously visited webpages. This object identifies the page’s title and URL. It also identifes the URL that requested the webpage.

You don’t create [`WKBackForwardListItem`](/documentation/WebKit/WKBackForwardListItem) objects directly. Instead, a [`WKBackForwardList`](/documentation/WebKit/WKBackForwardList) object creates them in conjunction with its associated web view when the web view loads new pages.

## Topics

### Getting the Page-Specific Information

[`title`](/documentation/WebKit/WKBackForwardListItem/title)

The title of the webpage this item represents.

[`url`](/documentation/WebKit/WKBackForwardListItem/url)

The URL of the webpage this item represents.

### Getting the Requesting Page

[`initialURL`](/documentation/WebKit/WKBackForwardListItem/initialURL)

The source URL that originally asked the web view to load this page.
