If you are using Url helper to generate urls, you will need to set baseUrl key to UrlManager component

 'urlManager' => [       
        'baseUrl' => 'http://example.com', 

Then you can create absolute url by using Url helper as,

echo Url::to(['site/index', 'src' => 'ref1', '#' => 'name'], true); // output ===> http://example.com/index.php?r=site%2Findex&src=ref1#name
