URL parser: frequently asked questions
What are query parameters?
The name=value pairs after the ? in a URL, separated by &. They pass data such as search terms or campaign tags.
What are UTM tags?
Parameters like utm_source and utm_campaign that tell analytics tools where a visit came from. Build them with our UTM builder.
What are gclid and fbclid?
Click IDs added automatically by Google Ads and Meta to attribute ad clicks.
Is the fragment sent to the server?
No. The part after # stays in the browser and is used for in-page links.
Are encoded characters decoded?
Yes. Path, parameters and fragment are shown decoded so they are easy to read.
Does it check the URL works?
No, it only parses it. Use our redirect checker to test a live URL.
Is my URL sent anywhere?
No. Parsing happens in your browser.
Why remove tracking parameters?
Shorter, clean links look more trustworthy when shared and avoid duplicate URLs in analytics.
