How many GET parameters can be in the page URL — Serpstat Blog (2024)

One request includes several GET parameters. Their number is not limited to the HTTP protocol. There are limits on the request volume from the server and browser. Each of them has its own maximum size for receiving/transmitting data. If the length exceeds this limit, the request will be truncated.

There is no specific maximum value for a GET request. One server can accept a maximum of 8 KB, and the other one – 16 KB. The average request size ranges from 512-1024 Kb.

In fact, there should be no more than 5 parameters in one request, otherwise, each of them will be difficult to control from the server and browser side. If you need to transfer a large amount of information, using the POST method is recommended.

When using friendly URLs, multiple GET parameters are transmitted in a hidden format. To see the complete request, it is necessary to temporarily turn off the friendly URLs.
