I am using this code to detect the homepage and it works great:

var url= window.location.href;
if(url.split("/").length>3){
    alert('You are in the homepage');
}

My problem is that I also need to detect if the url has variables for example:

mysite.com?variable=something

I need to also detect if the url has variables on it too

How can I do this?

Using window.location.pathname could work too:

if ( window.location.pathname == '/' ){
    // Index (home) page

} else {
    // Other page
    console.log(window.location.pathname);
}
