Find the query parameters on your site (from a crawl or a pasted URL list), classify them as tracking, sorting, filters, pagination, search or session, and get handling advice plus ready robots.txt rules.

For example from a crawler export, server logs or a Search Console Pages export.

Frequently asked questions

Are URL parameters bad for SEO?

Not by themselves. They become a problem when they create many crawlable URLs with the same content, such as sorting, filters, sessions and tracking tags.

Should I block parameters in robots.txt?

Block crawl-only ones (sorting, sessions, internal search, endless filter combinations). Do not block tracking, pagination or language parameters; Google needs to see their canonical or content.

What replaced the URL Parameters tool?

Google retired it in 2022. Use canonical tags, robots.txt and clean internal links instead.
