FYI, that’s called the query parameters. They’re usually used for tracking, but also could be used for non SEO optimized links to tell the site what item or article or such you’re linking to.
Most sites are SEO optimized, and their URL is the human readable description. But not all sites are like that. That’s why some break when you remove the query parameters.
Oh interesting thank you for the info, I was dealing with that today while trying to share an article it had a short id number I deleted but then it broke the link. Also it seems like tiktok generates a custom tracking link each time that shows the person who shared it with you and I haven’t found a way to edit the link to get rid of that
You can usually delete the tracking stuff after the question mark in the link
Thank you I will ensure to do so
