URL cleaner & parameter checker

Strip UTM and click IDs, inspect every parameter, and get the clean canonical URL.

How to use the URL Cleaner

  1. Paste one URL or a list.
  2. Choose which parameters to remove (UTM, fbclid, gclid, and more).
  3. Clean the URLs.
  4. Copy the tidy results.

Why clean your URLs

Clean URLs share better, keep indexing tidy, and clutter analytics. Cleaning URLs before sharing or publishing keeps links tidy, avoids accidental duplicate URLs, and produces cleaner data and a better user experience.

Why dirty URLs cost you rankings

Every parameter combination is a distinct URL to a crawler. Tracking tags, session IDs and filter combinations can multiply one page into thousands of crawlable variants, wasting crawl budget and splitting link signals. This tool parses any URL, labels each parameter as tracking or functional, and hands back the clean canonical form.

Parameters it strips

The full UTM set plus gclid, fbclid, msclkid, Mailchimp identifiers, generic ref and Google Ads source tags. Functional parameters, the ones that genuinely change what a visitor sees, are kept and flagged so you can decide.

URL hygiene rules worth enforcing

  • Lowercase only; mixed case creates duplicates on case-sensitive servers.
  • Hyphens between words, never underscores or spaces.
  • Keep depth to three or four folders.
  • HTTPS everywhere, with a single canonical host.
  • Self-referencing canonical on parameterised URLs.

Where to use the clean URL

Use it for canonical tags, internal links, sitemaps and, importantly, for the target of any backlink you build. A link pointing at a tracking URL passes its value to a URL you did not want indexed. Craft new paths with the URL slug generator.

Frequently asked questions

Will cleaning a URL break it?

Can I remove only specific parameters?

Yes, choose which ones to strip.
