How to encode “?” in image URL - wordpress

Question

I checked this already and found a solution here (Q 34160546) which sadly does not work for me though, maybe anyone else has an idea?
I checked my site on pingdom and wanted to get rid of this problem they put up:
Resources with a “?” in the URL are not cached by some proxy caching servers. Remove the query string and encode the parameters into the URL for the following resources:
A bunch of jpgs are listed, but to keep it simple lets just look at my profile picture on the main homepage (right widget):
https://example.com/profile.jpg?w=192
This ? should be encoded with %3F and my question is how I can do that the best way? Within the widget code that generates the code above, I only included this:
<img src="https://example.com/profile.jpg" class="aligncenter" width="192">
Now I can’t just go ahead and write this instead, it will result in the picture not showing up:
<img src="https://example.com/profile.jpg%3Fw=192">
Can anyone tell me a quick fix for my ~25 images? Maybe it will improve the site speed..

In WordPress, this is possible to remove "?" from script and styles. But from the image, you need some customization.
you can use preg_replace, I did this little example for you.
<?php
$url = "http://www.test/img/FMR.jpg?Qq_0y12h";
echo "url = $url\n\n";
$urlFormatted = preg_replace("/\?.*$/", "", $url);
echo "urlFormatted = $urlFormatted\n";
?>
For more information,
Remove character from image url
PHP Remove parameters from image extension
Removing query string in PHP (sometimes based on referrer)
Or you may try this code also, not tested but this will help you. please visit
function remove_query_string($url) {
return remove_query_arg('w', $url);
}
add_filter('the_permalink', 'remove_query_string');
hope this will helps you.
