Redirects and UTM Parameters: How to Preserve Attribution Without Making URLs Messy
Attribution often breaks inside redirect logic
Campaign teams may generate clean tagged URLs, but a redirect layer can still strip parameters, reorder them unpredictably, or introduce extra hops before the landing page loads.
What usually goes wrong
Problems appear when tracking parameters are dropped during host normalization, mixed with duplicate canonical rules, or passed through chains that slow down landing page arrival.
Safer pattern
Keep redirects as short as possible and verify that important parameters survive the full path to the final URL. Tracking should be preserved without turning every URL into a redirect maze.
