"It's doesn't work" is not an acceptable problem description. — Lightness Races in Orbit, Aug 02 '16 at 11:37

at the top of the code i have var url = window.location.href; that is getting the url form site — Tori, Aug 02 '16 at 11:43
where is `pathname` declared and assigned? you must show that for a [MCVE](http://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve) — Jaromanda X, Aug 02 '16 at 11:44
in that case you want `if (window.location.pathname == "/")` — Jaromanda X, Aug 02 '16 at 11:44

To get the URL you need to use window.location

For the URL "http://www.google.com/images":

window.location.href; // http://www.google.com/images
window.location.hostname; // www.google.com
window.location.pathname; // /images
window.location.protocol; // http://

So, you will probably need:

if (window.location.pathname === '/') {
    category = 'home';
    pagetype = 'homepage';
}

or if you are using ES6 you can also use:

const { pathname } = window.location;

if (pathname === '/') {
    category = 'home';
    pagetype = 'homepage';
}

Try running `console.log(window.location)` and you will be able to see all of the properties – Nicholas Robinson Aug 02 '16 at 11:51
