URL Query Parameter Remover

Four removal modes

• Tracking parameters only — removes utm_*, gclid, fbclid, msclkid, mc_cid, igshid, _hsenc, ttclid and similar click IDs, but keeps functional ones like ?id=42 or ?page=2.
• All parameters — returns the bare path. Use with care: some sites need parameters to show the right product.
• Only listed — remove exactly the names you type, e.g. sessionid, ref, sort.
• All except listed — an allow-list: keep id, page and drop everything else.

You can also strip the #fragment, which is never sent to servers and usually only scrolls to a section.

Why clean URLs matter

1. Sharing: a link copied from an ad or newsletter carries the original campaign's tags. When you re-share it, analytics credits the wrong source.
2. Privacy: click IDs like fbclid and gclid can link a visit back to an ad account. Cleaning them protects your audience.
3. SEO audits: crawl exports and backlink reports often list the same page dozens of times with different parameters. Strip them to de-duplicate the list.
4. Sitemaps and canonicals should always use parameter-free URLs.

Example

Before: https://shop.example.com/shoes?utm_source=news&utm_medium=email&size=42&fbclid=IwAR0x
After : https://shop.example.com/shoes?size=42

The functional size parameter stays, the tracking noise is gone, and the table shows how many times each parameter was removed across your list.

Do parameters hurt SEO?

Parameters by themselves are fine, but uncontrolled ones create near-infinite duplicate URLs (sort orders, filters, session IDs) that waste crawl budget. Fix this at the source: add a self-referencing canonical, keep parameter URLs out of your sitemap, and link internally to clean URLs.
