Remove parameter from url using Javascript

Question

I wan to remove parameter from URL without reloading or refreshing page.

I used below code for that, and it's working fine.

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {    
    window.history.pushState("", "", "/" );
});

But problem is if I click on browser back button I can see parameters in url.

Because it is in the array-like state...Possible dupe of stackoverflow.com/questions/28028297/… — Rayon

That's because pushState adds a new entry to the browser history.

Use replaceState instead, to replace the current entry.

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {    
    window.history.replaceState("", "", "/" );
});
