Web page/document.
If you are citing a page or document from a website, the content type determines how you should cite the source (for example, journal article, blog post, or YouTube video, etc.). If you are citing something whose content type isn't clearly defined (see Ch. 7 in the APA Manual), you may consider using this format which includes key pieces of information (URLs should link directly to the source if possible):
General Format
Author, A. A. (date). Title of webpage/document . Website. https://xxxx
For Example
Barasch, A. (2018, April 2). Yes, Africa is splitting in two, and it’s extremely slow and extremely fast . Slate. https://slate.com/technology/2018/04/yes-africa-is-splitting-in-two-and-its-extremely-slow-and-extremely-fast.html
