If I have a link that is being changed with the function history.pushState({}, "", link); where my link is for example page.php?value=1&value2=2 Is there a way to just change the value2 with pushState() function instead of changing the whole link?

If what you're trying to do is change the URL without adding an additional entry to the history object, you might try replaceState.

history.replaceState({value: 1, value2: X}, "title", "page.php");
