Can I remove parameter from URL generated by video playlist in Elementor – SEO

Elementor Pro has a new widget, video playlist. It appends a parameter to the URL, like so: http://aaronpenton.net/ampcreative/vip/about-vip/?playlist=f68425e&video=b8a9967

This is obviously terrible for SEO and UX. Is there a way to remove the ?playlist=f68425e&video=b8a9967 ?

    This should do the trick.

    const url = 'http://aaronpenton.net/ampcreative/vip/about-vip/?playlist=f68425e&video=b8a9967'
url.replace(url.split('/')[6], '')

    1. split, well.. splits the string into an array by the /
      character.

    2. At index 6 the array contains the ?playlist=f68425e&video=b8a9967 substring which can than be removed (i.e. replaced by the empty string) using replace.

    A more general approach to removing the last part of the url might
    be to use the array length instead of specifying the index:

    const url = 'http://aaronpenton.net/ampcreative/vip/about-vip/?playlist=f68425e&video=b8a9967'
const urlArr = url.split('/')
url.replace(urlArr[urlArr.length - 1], '')

    Update:

    Another way to do this is using the URL API

    const url = new URL('http://aaronpenton.net/ampcreative/vip/about-vip/?playlist=f68425e&video=b8a9967');
const result = url.origin + url.pathname

    or in a function:

    const removeParameter = u => {
  const url = new URL(u);
  return url.origin + url.pathname
}

    You might have to check the specification for further details (browser support etc)

    My brother help me with the next script.
    Put a "HTML Elementor Widget" with the following:

        <script>
function getURLParameter(name) {
  return decodeURI((RegExp(name + '=' + '(.+?)(&|$)').exec(location.search)||[,null])[1]);
}

function hideURLParams() {
  //Parameters to hide (ie ?playlist=value, ?video=value, etc)
  var hide = ['playlist','video'];
  for(var h in hide) {
    if(getURLParameter(h)) {
      history.replaceState(null, document.getElementsByTagName("title")[0].innerHTML, window.location.pathname);
    }
  }
}

window.onload = hideURLParams;
</script>
