How To Remove ?m=1 In Blogger URLs

How to Remove the "?m=1" Perimeter in Blogger URL: A Step-by-Step Guide

If you're using Blogger to host your blog, you might have noticed the added ?m=1 at the end of your blog URLs when visiting your site on mobile devices. While this is part of Blogger's mobile view redirection system, it can be a bit messy and affect the aesthetic of your blog URLs. In this Article I'll expose to you how to remove the ?m=1 perimeter from your URLs without affecting your site's functionality.

In this post, I will provide you with the necessary steps and the two script codes you need to implement to achieve this clean URL structure. Let’s dive into the process.

Why is the ?m=1 Perimeter Added?

Blogger automatically appends ?m=1 to URLs when a user views your blog on a mobile device. This tells Blogger to serve the mobile-friendly version of your site. While this functionality is useful for responsive design, it can be frustrating for those who want their URLs to appear clean and without any added parameters.

If you prefer a streamlined URL and better control over how your blog appears to users, you can easily remove the ?m=1 parameter by using a couple of simple scripts. This won’t impact your blog’s responsiveness; your mobile users will still get the mobile-friendly version of your site — only it won’t be reflected in the URL.

How to Remove the ?m=1 from Blogger URLs

To remove the ?m=1 perimeter from your URLs, make sure you watch that video properly or follow these steps:

Log in to Blogger: Head over to your Blogger dashboard and select the blog you want to edit.

Access the Theme: Go to the "Theme" section on the left-hand sidebar, and click on "Edit HTML."

Insert the Scripts: In the HTML editor, you will need to insert the two scripts. These scripts will detect mobile users and redirect them to the clean version of the URL without the ?m=1.

Add the Scripts: The two scripts you need to add are designed to remove the ?m=1 from the URL without interfering with the mobile layout. Use anyone that works for you base on your blogger template. 

Save the Changes: After inserting the code, make sure to save your theme changes and refresh your blog. The next time you visit your blog on mobile, you will notice the URL has been cleaned up.

Script Codes for Removing ?m=1 Perimeter

I’ve included two essential scripts that you need to add to your blog’s HTML. These scripts will automatically remove the ?m=1 parameter when users visit your blog via mobile devices.

The first script handles the detection of mobile devices and redirects to a clean URL. The second script ensures that the redirection doesn’t interfere with other elements of your blog.

FIRST CODE 

<!--//By davizyhacob, Code 1 to Clean ?m=1 perimeter.//--> <script type='text/javascript'> //<![CDATA[ var uri = window.location.toString(); if (uri.indexOf("%3D","%3D") > 0) { var clean_uri = uri.substring(0, uri.indexOf("%3D")); window.history.replaceState({}, document.title, clean_uri); } var uri = window.location.toString(); if (uri.indexOf("%3D%3D","%3D%3D") > 0) { var clean_uri = uri.substring(0, uri.indexOf("%3D%3D")); window.history.replaceState({}, document.title, clean_uri); } var uri = window.location.toString(); if (uri.indexOf("&m=1","&m=1") > 0) { var clean_uri = uri.substring(0, uri.indexOf("&m=1")); window.history.replaceState({}, document.title, clean_uri); } var uri = window.location.toString(); if (uri.indexOf("?m=1","?m=1") > 0) { var clean_uri = uri.substring(0, uri.indexOf("?m=1")); window.history.replaceState({}, document.title, clean_uri); } //]]> </script>

SECOND CODE 

<!--// CODE 2, Credit to Davzyjacob//--> <script>/*<![CDATA[*/ var uri = window.location.toString();if (uri.indexOf("?m=1","?m=1") > 0) {var clean_uri = uri.substring(0, uri.indexOf("?m=1"));window.history.replaceState({}, document.title, clean_uri); }; /*]]>*/</script>

Testing the Changes

After adding the scripts, make sure to test your blog on different devices, especially mobile ones. Open your blog URL on your phone or use the mobile emulator in Chrome’s developer tools to check that the ?m=1 has been successfully removed and your blog still loads in a mobile-friendly format.

Benefits of Removing the ?m=1 from Blogger URLs

Cleaner URLs: Removing the ?m=1 makes your URLs look cleaner and more professional, especially when sharing them on social media or in promotional materials.

SEO Benefits: Cleaner URLs can be more SEO-friendly, as search engines tend to favor short, easy-to-read URLs. By eliminating the unnecessary parameter, you might see improved search engine rankings.

Better User Experience: A clean URL can also provide a better user experience, making your blog look more polished and sophisticated.

Custom Domain: If you're using a custom domain with your Blogger blog, removing the ?m=1 ensures that your domain remains neat and doesn’t contain any unwanted query strings.

Conclusion. 

Removing the ?m=1 parameter from your Blogger URLs is a simple yet effective way to enhance the look and functionality of your blog. By using the provided scripts, you can ensure that mobile users still experience a seamless and optimized version of your site, without the unwanted URL appendage.
