App URL has extra query parameters (?target=...)

[StringW]

Hello,

I have set up my custom domain for my app. The CNAME record is correctly configured and the domain is working.

However, my published app’s URL is not clean. It always shows additional parameters like ?target=…, even when I type the URL directly into the browser.

This issue occurs on all my app pages, not just the home screen.

I have confirmed that the domain settings are correct and that the home page URL field in my Adalo control panel is empty. It seems to be an internal platform issue.

What could be the problem?

Thanks.

Hi @StringW,

It’s just the way Adalo app works on the web.

Best,
Victor.

Thanks again, Victor. Isn’t there a way to display a “clean” URL?

I don’t think so.

Yeah, that’s normal behavior with Adalo’s web apps: the ?target=… part is how the platform handles routing between screens. Right now there isn’t a built-in way to hide it or force clean URLs. The only workaround would be to wrap your Adalo app inside another site (like iFrame embedding it in a page on Webflow/Wix/etc.) and mask the URL that way, but inside Adalo itself the query string will always show.

Thanks Alex.
