The GET method indicates that the visitor has arrived directly at your website, while a query string in the URL suggests that the visitor may have come through an advertisement. ## Use-case You can use extra filters like GET parameters to find out if the experience of people who come to your website through a query string, which may indicate paid traffic, is different from the experience of people who go straight to the website. ## Example The screenshot indicates that visitors who arrive at the website through a query string have a worse experience. This suggests that there may be underlying issues that can be addressed to improve their experience. ![HTTP request](https://www.rumvision.com/file/upload/img/screenshot/ttfb-http-use-case-docs.png)
