Strange ugly url slug when I click my store after a google search

Hi guys!

When I make a search of my store and I click the Google Search Result, when the site opens it displays a ugly url slug, not the clean primary domain url I expect.

Do you know why this is happening?

Hi @miltokas

Welcome to Shopify Community.

“srsltid” query string is specific to GMC and are completely normal and are expected to appear.

Generally, it show when the Auto tagging feature is enabled on GMC.

Can you please check https://merchants.google.com/mc/conversionsettings and verify if auto tagging is enabled?

This case started appearing on search result for all GMC verified stores since August 2024, partly because of some updates by Google.

I have seen our clients also having the same issue and upon quick support from Google, we expect the issue to go away.

Hope this clarified your query.

Thank you.

Here is a simple solution which you can apply in your store to remove ugly part of url:

  1. Go to store dashboard → edit code → theme.liquid

  2. Find <head tag in theme.liquid file and just in the next line paste below javascript code.

{% if template.name == 'product' %}
  
  {% endif %}

Hope this will fix the problem.

Thanks.
