What are Query Parameters?

A simple explanation for everyone

Query parameters are the extra bits of text you see at the end of web addresses (URLs) after a question mark (?). Think of them as "instructions" or "notes" that websites use to track where you came from, remember your preferences, or customize what you see.

Example URL breakdown:

https://shop.example.com/shoes?utm_source=google&color=blue&size=10
Main website address
Tracking info (where you came from)
Your preference (color choice)
Important info (shoe size)

Essential

Parameters the website needs to work properly (like search terms, page numbers, or product filters)

Tracking

Parameters that track where you came from or how you browse (used for advertising and analytics)

Unknown

Parameters we're not sure about - they might be important or just extra clutter

Why clean your URLs?

  • Privacy: Remove tracking that follows you around the web
  • Cleaner sharing: Share shorter, cleaner links with friends
  • Less clutter: Remove unnecessary junk from your bookmarks
  • Better security: Avoid accidentally sharing tracking information

Common examples you'll see:

utm_source=facebook→ Tracks that you came from Facebook
q=pizza recipes→ Your search term (essential for search results)
fbclid=ABC123→ Facebook's tracking code (can be removed)
