Guessing those last two parameters are languages. I don't see the issue, but I commonly trim tracking strings off too.

- ta999999171 7y agoFor the layperson reading, for articles, this is usually anything after the ? in a URL.
- Johnny555 7y agoThat's not a good rule of thumb since often the unique identifier you're interested in is a query arg, so if you strip of everything after the ?, you're left with nothing. like the URL above, all you'll have left is: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search
- userbinator 7y agoYes, there's no real general rule (see HN articles for instance) but "if I omit these parts of the URL, I get the same content" is usually a safe bet.
