## Pages with "/" at the End of the URL Are Not Being Consolidated

By default in Ptengine, when a URL has a "/" at the end, its data is consolidated with the URL data that has the "/" removed.

## Ptengine Specifications

Normal consolidation works as follows.

① [www](http://www).*\*\*.com/ ② [www.\*\*\_.com](http://www.**_.com) ③ [www](http://www).*\*\*.com/?form=mail ↓Consolidation ①+②+③ [www.\*\*\_.com](http://www.**_.com)

Note: Items with parameters (red text portion) have been consolidated since the November 15, 2021 update. Data from before that date is displayed without consolidation as follows:

① [www](http://www).*\*\*.com/ ② [www.\*\*\_.com](http://www.**_.com) ③ [www](http://www).*\*\*.com/?form=mail ↓Consolidation ①+② [www.\*\*\_.com](http://www.**_.com) ③ [www.\\\*\\\*\\\*.com/](http://www.\\*\\*\\*.com/)

## Background Knowledge

Because the following cases are possible, Ptengine has adopted the above product specification for parameter removal.

#### **Case 1:**

Top page: `https://shop.ptengine.com/` Product 1 introduction page: `https://shop.ptengine.com/#927242` Product 2 introduction page: `https://shop.ptengine.com/#927243`

In Case 1, the content of the top page is completely different from the introduction pages of each product. In that case, after parameter removal, it is more effective to separate the top page and each product introduction page so that you can review the data effectively.

After parameter removal:

`https://shop.ptengine.com` → Top page summary (`https://shop.ptengine.com` and `https://shop.ptengine.com/`)

`https://shop.ptengine.com/` → Summary of product introduction pages (`https://shop.ptengine.com/#productid`)

#### **Case 2:**

Top page: `https://shop.ptengine.com/` Ad traffic to top page: `https://shop.ptengine.com/?utmsource=yahoo`

In Case 2, even if the top page has parameters, if you want to view them consolidated after parameter removal because the content is the same as the top page, you can configure it using the [Page Group feature](/en/faq/tag-and-domain/url-trailing-slash.md) as follows, or by directly checking the page after parameter removal, you can consolidate visits to the same page.

Exact match `https://shop.ptengine.com` Exact match `https://shop.ptengine.com/` Prefix match `https://shop.ptengine.com/?`
