Pinterest query string: ?ssp_iabi=16737473738449

In the past ~2 weeks, Pinterest has started adding the ssp_iabi query string to some links. They appear to be adding a Unix timestamp, so it'll look something like this, with the value changing every time:

https://domain.com/postname/?ssp_iabi=16773457

This is causing WP Rocket not to cache, and we're seeing high load (including some overload!) on some sites because of it. (It's also cluttering up Google Analytics reports...)

Can this query string be added to the list of automatically ignored parameters (along with Pinterest's epik and pp)?

what do you think guys ?

bump for this....

Can the query string be added to the list of automatically ignored parameters ??

The google analytics is full of ssp_iabi containing queries again. Any info on why this is still happening ?

have you tried what chatgpt suggested?

1. Navigate to Settings > WP Rocket.
2. Click on the 'Advanced Rules' tab.
3. In the 'Never Cache URL(s)' section, locate the 'Query String(s)' input box.
4. Add "ssp_iabi" to the list of ignored query strings, separating it from other query strings using a pipe (|) character. For example, if you're already ignoring epik and pp, your list would look like this: epik|pp|ssp_iabi.

Basically the same idea as setting up a rule for your firewall by the looks of it.

Thank you for sharing. Can I ask you If It needs time for result ? Cause I already done what you said and I still see URLs with ssp_iabi...
