About this tool
Rewrites a URL into a canonical form: lowercased host, default port removed, tracking parameters stripped, optional sorting of the query. Useful for deduplicating links and for comparing two URLs that point at the same resource.
Limitations
- Normalisation is textual. Two URLs that normalise identically can still serve different content.
Questions
- Which parameters count as tracking?
- The utm_ family plus common click identifiers such as gclid, fbclid and msclkid. Every change made is listed underneath, so nothing is removed silently.
- Is a normalised URL guaranteed equivalent?
- Not always. Some servers treat a trailing slash as significant, and a few care about parameter order. Every change is optional for that reason.
