JS redirect from [example.com/home] to [example.com/home?loc=USA] causes infinite loop

September 12, 2024

I’m trying to redirect from example.com/home to example.com/home?loc=USA.
But it causes infinite loop. How do I stop it? Thanks.

My code:

<script>
    window.location = "example.com/home?loc=USA";
</script>

>Solution :

Currently you’re redirecting the user unconditionally, every time the page loads. You can wrap that logic in a condition which checks if the query string parameter you’re looking for exists or not. For example:

const params = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);
const loc = params.get('loc');
if (!loc) {
  window.location = "example.com/home?loc=USA";
}
