I am currently using webflow to host my site. In the redirection section on the hosting tab. I added a 301 redirect query string that redirects to my index, I do this because I wanted to track where do the users come from in my site.
Read this article and try it out: https://www.newmediacampaigns.com/blog/how-to-track-landing-page-redirects-using-google-analytics
So basically it states this:
So for example i created a redirect /mexico to go to my index with a query string. Currently it works really well, but i want to know if it is possible that the user does not see the query string when entering from a redirect link.
For example when user enters by example.com/mexico, the url search bar shows only example.com
I tried hiding it using javascript, but does not work.
var testURL = 'myurl';
testURL.split('?')[0];
Any clue? or suggestion?
The only way to do this is with the history API - not available in older browsers.
The standard way of doing this is
history.pushState("object or state to represent your page", "page title", "/thenewurlpath");
You could add this to your document.ready callback, E.G.
$(document).ready(function(){
history.pushState("something", "newtitle", "/thenewpath");
// Whatever else your document.ready callback is doing...
})
Hope this helped :)
