Removing of "/?m=1" error in Blogger website
Having "/?m=1" is not an big Issue.It is the Identity of capturing the Mobile Devices. Thats it.
For Example, In an Amazon eCommerce site, the products have different variation like sizes/ colors ect,. If you view parent / main product(say - "size-M") and if you click the child product (say -"size-s") have its variation and the url will append to "th=1" and pcs="1". These are just a parameters for specfic task. Thats it. So, No need to worry regarding this. However, still I'll try to remove "/?m=1" parameter from Blogger.
As we all know that Blogger shows /?m=1 in the URL when someone visits the site from Modile Devices. It looks like an Unprofessional and most of the users don't like this.
Having a clear looking URLs (means URL follows the root URL and followed by its pages / posts / categories ect,.) givess your website a proffesional look and you don't want separate URLs for Desktop, Mobile, Tablet Devices.
So, In this article. I will show you How you can Delete the ?m=1 URL parameter fromyour Blogger website. I will also tell you whether should you implement this on your website or not.
Why does Blogger show "?m=1" in Mobile URLs ?
Blogger is quiet outdated now and earlier most of the Blogger themes didn't use the responsive design. Most themes show different versions for Desktop and mobile users.
So, to Identify the Device properly Blogger introduces the concept of the
?m=1 parameter in the blogger URL. So, whenevr someone access your
blog from a Mobice or tablet, it will shows a URL structure like this.

As most modern themes use a responsive design and don't display separate versions for different screen sizes, there is no need to change this URL parameter.
Currently, there is no permanent fixing of this problem, but you can display a clean URL to the visitors when land on your website through a mobile device.
Here, you need to add the piece of script that does the job for you. So, let's check how you can fix the ?m=1 problem on the Blogger website.
How to remove ?m=1 from Blogger
To remove the ?m=1 from your Blogger URL, follow the below steps.
- Go to the Blogger dashboard and select the "Theme" option.
- Now, Click on the "Edit HTML" option from the drop-down menu.
- Now, you have to add the below script just below the <html> tag.
- Now, save the code and the ?m=1 will be removed from the blogger website for the Mobile Devices.
If the above code is not working then, you can use the below code to remove the ?m=1 from the Blogger URL in Mobile.
Does it affect your Blog SEO and does it improve the speed of the Blogger?
Well, the answer is little difficult. Using the above script doesn't remove the ?m=1 from the Blogger URL permanently. Instead, it again redirects this URL to the original URL in the user's Browser.
So, If you want a clear URL then you can use it just below the <html> tag of your theme file.
And remember that it doesn't improve the speed that much and the speed fluctuation is not due to this, it is due to the server response time. So, No need to worry about SEO.
