Twitter / X URL Cleaner

Why clean Twitter URLs?

When you tap Twitter's share button, it appends a referral parameter like ?s=20 that leaks the device + UI surface you shared from. Some Twitter / X embeds also pick up &ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw or third-party UTM parameters from analytics tools. None of these change which tweet the link points to — they're just metadata you usually don't want to forward.

What gets stripped

• ?s=, ?t= — Twitter share-source identifiers
• ?ref_src=, ?ref_url= — Twitter embed referer
• ?cn=, ?mx= — campaign / tracking shortcodes
• &utm_source=, &utm_medium=, &utm_campaign=, &utm_content=, &utm_term= — Google-style UTM tracking
• Any other parameter starting with ref, src, utm or tracking

What stays

The actual path (/username/status/12345) and any meaningful query params (very few Twitter URLs use them) are kept intact. Both twitter.com and x.com work — the tool doesn't change the host.
