Remove tracking
Remove tracking from LinkedIn links
LinkedIn's lipi (LinkedIn Impression ID), trk, trackingId, and li_source all track how content moves through the professional network. Together they let LinkedIn attribute impressions, clicks, and downstream engagement to specific share events. Removing them leaves the post URL intact.

Before and after
What LinkedIn tracks in shared links
lipi is LinkedIn's Impression ID — a signed token that identifies the specific impression of the content. trk (and its cousin trackingId) tags the referring surface or tracking source. li_source names the share surface. Together they power LinkedIn's engagement-attribution graph and feed profile-view and connection-suggestion signals.

Frequently asked questions
- Does stripping lipi affect the post URL?
- No. The activity ID in the URL path is all LinkedIn needs to serve the post. lipi is purely attribution metadata.
