Try to use that function:

(function isURL(s) {
    var regexp = /http(s?):\/\/www\.[A-Za-z0-9\.-]{3,}\.[A-Za-z]{3}/;
     return regexp.test(s);
})("https://www.google.com")

you may play with it here

This fails for http://www.google.co.uk/. I honestly think your regexp is too extensive.

Try this one:

 ^(http|https):\/\/[\w\-_]+(\.[\w\-_]+)+([\w\-\.,@?^=%&amp;:/~\+#]*[\w\-\@?^=%&amp;/~\+#])?



var re = /^(http|https):\/\/[\w\-_]+(\.[\w\-_]+)+([\w\-\.,@?^=%&amp;:/~\+#]*[\w\-\@?^=%&amp;/~\+#])?/;

alert(re.test(yourString));

Test it at this JsFiddle.

Found at RegExLib.

you could use:

function checkhttpWww(s) {
     var reg = /http(s?):\/\/www/;
      return reg.test(s);
}

}
