WEB1021 - The hyperlink contains too many query string parameters

  • Article

A hyperlink should contain three or fewer query string parameters.

Explanation

Most search engines will analyze and follow a link only if it contains three query string parameters or fewer.

Details

Most search engines analyze up to three URL parameters. Any additional parameters may cause search engines to ignore the hyperlink. It is generally recommended that no more than three URL parameters be used for a given link. Be aware that not every search engine analyzes both dynamic pages and static pages.
