utm_source

๐Ÿข Google Analytics (Urchin standard)๐Ÿท๏ธ Analytics campaign

What it is

Names where a visit came from โ€” e.g. newsletter, twitter, google. Part of the UTM family that virtually every marketing team adds to shared links so their analytics can attribute traffic to a channel.

Safe to remove? Yes. utm_source is used for tracking and reporting only โ€” deleting it does not change the page you land on. Strip it before sharing a link to keep it clean and private.
