To disable the extra letters and numbers at the end of your website's link in order to resolve tracking issues, you can follow these steps in Webflow:

  1. Login to your Webflow account and open the project you want to edit.
  2. Go to the Project Settings by clicking on the gear icon at the bottom-left corner of the Designer.
  3. Select the Hosting tab from the left sidebar.
  4. Scroll down to the "Advanced Settings" section and click on "SEO & Open Graph".
  5. In the SEO settings panel, you will find a field called "Site-wide SEO settings".
  6. In the "Canonical domain" field, enter the URL without the extra letters and numbers. This will be the primary domain for your site.
  7. Save your changes by clicking on the "Save Changes" button at the top-right corner of the panel.
  8. Go back to the Hosting tab and click on the "Publish" button to update your site.

By setting the canonical domain to the URL without the extra letters and numbers, you are telling search engines and other tracking systems to consider that version of the URL as the preferred one. This helps prevent any confusion or duplication of content caused by the appended codes.

Additionally, make sure to update any existing links on your site to use the canonical domain to ensure consistency and avoid redirect issues.
