Remove the Trailing Slash From Every URL

This strips a final from URLs that have one, leaving those without unchanged.

This strips a final / from URLs that have one, leaving those without unchanged.

The normalisation question

Whether URLs should end with a slash is a convention, and either answer works. What breaks things is a list containing both forms, because they compare as different strings.

Why you might strip rather than add

If the destination system, the analytics platform or the existing convention uses no trailing slash, matching that avoids a mismatch at every comparison.

Never strip the root

https://example.com/ reduced to https://example.com is a different and less correct form. The root slash is part of the address.
