Google gclid and lscache

[AndreyPopov]

unfortunately lscache accept reference from any Google resource with gclid

https://www.domain.com/page_name&gclid=dhjkhlJLHjlH79798pklKHJHUIHjlh

as different url from https://www.domain.com/page_name

and
- not provide cached page (even page_name already cached)
- create in lscache cached copy for page_name&gclid=dhjkhlJLHjlH79798pklKHJHUIHjlh that never been used again

is right and enough way add to .htaccess rewrite rule:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} "gclid=" [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) /$1? [R=301,QSD]

to redirect page_name&gclid=dhjkhlJLHjlH79798pklKHJHUIHjlh to cached page_name without creating unnecessary copy.

Method 1: Apache-style CacheKeyModify¶
The directive can be added to Apache config files at the server, vhost and web application levels.

• CacheKeyModify -qs:glcid drops all query strings where the name exactly matches "glcid"
  
  
  P.S. may be must be gclid string in docs.

but I cannot access to configuration file (shared hosting) and must use Rewrite Rules in .htaccess


Method 2: Rewrite Rules¶
As an alternative to CacheKeyModify, you can also use rewrite rules. This method supports multiple commands combined, and gives you more flexibility.

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} "gclid" [NC]
RewriteRule  .* - [E=cache-key-mod:-qs:gclid]

As said, set it in .htaccess. The same code is set in cache plugin for WordPress and it works. Nobody said that the documentation was complete and error-free.
