What is this at end of URL ?r=1

  • Working on a clients website and picking up from where a developer left off. I noticed on the home page and a few inner pages that there is a string of code or tag that reads like this at the end of the URL, What is this used for. I dont see anything in the permalink, I will point out that “EASYREDIR” is being used on the site but not sure what this does. Any help would be great!! sample URL of what it looks like: https://sampleurl/?r=1

    r is not a default WP query var. It must be something implemented by the theme or a plugin.

    If you want to determine which one is adding r=1, first examine .htaccess directives for anything that could be adding it. If nothing there, switch to a default twenty* theme and deactivate all plugins. Visit the permalinks settings screen to cause rewrite rules to be flushed. Now there should no longer be a r=1 query string. Restore your normal theme, then plugins, one at a time. When r=1 returns, you’ve narrowed down the cause.
