Remove query param in canonical links

We are having an issue with canonical URLs. Some of then include query parameters, which we want to avoid for Google Search console issues.

How can we achieve that? This urls aren’t shown in sitemap neither.

These urls are redirections that we have from our previous website, the redirection is done correctly, but in the canonical name appears the query param.

Thanks in advance,

Sometime last year, Webflow made a switch, to identify the pagination querystrings as canonically unique rather than as a “filter” on the base URL.

Either approach is considered correct by Google, it’s a question of perspective.

There is no option to switch that off natively.
If you really wanted to for some reason, you could;

  • Turn off automatic canonicals site-wide, and add them manually in each page’s head code.
  • Use script to remove that querystring ( Google processes after most scripts run ).

Would it be possible then to leave the site-wide canonical but specify a different one for specific pages?

Thank you for your reply

No, it would create multiple canonicals on the same page.
