We have uploaded our website to infinityfree.net. Everything is working fine except one thing. A few characters are getting added to the URL automatically when opened in any browser (i.e. http://www.download-shield.com/?i=1) and the site is working. The url is working as absolute http://www.download-shield.com too. But we don’t want those characters to be added automatically because it is bothering us in SEO of this website. Kindly let us know how to get rid of those extra characters added in the url.
Hi
you can not be without it
the characters that are added are the result of the verification process
( real visitor vs bot ) via cookies ( __test )
and this is done for our/server protection
otherwise someone could run various tools against your site and your site would quickly exceed the default limits
As far as SEO is concerned - there is no reason to worry

But if the value of i=x and x=3 or more then it will automatically redirects to an error so be carefull while being with cookie

The ?i=X thing is testing are you real Humans or Bots with Cookies.
The ‘X’ is the number of attemp.
If it reaches 3 and still failed to verify, it will redirect you to Google Knowledgebase on how to enable Cookies.
