Pretty Pagination Querystring

Webflow's collection list pagination adds URL querystrings like this;

?6801a15e_page=2

While these are important, they're not especially attractive and some clients prefer a code-free appearance like;

?page=2

This is not natively supported by Webflow.

The reason the code exists is to identify which page you're on for each collection list, up to 20. Therefore to differentiate them, the code is important and you may have several;

?6801a15e_page=2&?8801e222_page=8?25401a12f_page=12

It would be nice to be able to designate a single primary collection list for the page, and have that only form a cleaner no-ID querystring. However this is not currently a Webflow feature.

A Hack

If you don't mind a flicker, you can hide that coded param using client-side JS.

1. Place in the before-/head custom code area of the specific page you want this on.

2. Edit the REAL_PARAM at the top to indicate the actual querystring param.

<script>
(() => {
  const REAL_PARAM = '6801a15e_page'; // <-- your Webflow param
  const FRIENDLY   = 'page';

  const url = new URL(location.href);
  const s = url.searchParams;

  // Friendly -> real (reload once so Webflow serves correct page)
  if (s.has(FRIENDLY) && !s.has(REAL_PARAM)) {
    const v = s.get(FRIENDLY);
    if (/^\d+$/.test(v) && +v >= 1) {
      s.set(REAL_PARAM, v);
      s.delete(FRIENDLY);
      location.replace(url.toString());
      return;
    }
  }

  // Real -> friendly (address bar only; no reload)
  if (s.has(REAL_PARAM) && !s.has(FRIENDLY)) {
    const v = s.get(REAL_PARAM);
    if (/^\d+$/.test(v)) {
      const friendly = new URL(url);
      friendly.searchParams.set(FRIENDLY, v);
      friendly.searchParams.delete(REAL_PARAM);
      history.replaceState(null, '', friendly.toString());
    }
  }

  // Optional: make links using ?page=N go straight to the real param (no extra round-trip)
  addEventListener('click', (e) => {
    const a = e.target && e.target.closest && e.target.closest('a[href]');
    if (!a) return;
    const u = new URL(a.href, location.origin);
    if (u.pathname === location.pathname && u.searchParams.has(FRIENDLY) && !u.searchParams.has(REAL_PARAM)) {
      const v = u.searchParams.get(FRIENDLY);
      if (/^\d+$/.test(v) && +v >= 1) {
        u.searchParams.set(REAL_PARAM, v);
        u.searchParams.delete(FRIENDLY);
        e.preventDefault();
        location.href = u.toString();
      }
    }
  }, { capture: true });
})();
</script>
