title: In google analytics should I add or remove trailing slashes?
body: <p>I am developing a set of standard filters to deploy for every client I have that needs Google Analytics support. One of those filters is to add a trailing slash (i.e., "/" to the end of each URL that doesn't include query parameters).</p>
  
  <p>While I am able to understand the advanced filters using regular expressions to accomplish this, I am not sure which is the right way to go.</p>
  
  <p>I have seen some articles that say you should remove this just to help consolidate URLs and others that say you should have the trailing slash to help GA understand the directory hierarchy of your site.</p>
  
  <p>Which is it?</p>
  
  <p>Best,</p>
