Your given route and href is different here. The href could be {{URL::to('user/'.$user->id.'/'.$user->username)}} — Rakibul Islam

The query string is considered part of the inputs and not part of the URI for routing. If you want the 'id' part of the URI to be optional you would have to adjust your definition. Then in your controller you can access your reference query string parameter.

Route::get('user/{id?}', 'UserController@index')->name('user');

public function index(Request $request, $id = null)
{
    $reference = $request->input('reference');
    ...
}
