Remove the query string ?=1 added by WordPress adds to media URLs in HTML5 audio and video mediaelement.js players. It will match any digit that follows the equals sign, e.g. ?=42 will be removed.
This plugin is ideal for the following reasons
- Page Loading Performance: Improve page speed scores with services like PageSpeed, YSlow, Pingdoom and GTmetrix.
- Caching: Links with query string parameters such as “?” followed by name=value pairs separated by ‘&’ in the URL are typically not cacheable
- Statistics and Analytics: Prevent statistics and analytics services from including the query string in reporting.
- Google’s Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP): Removes the possibility of links to media files being detected as AMP errors.
