I assumed that “using jquery” means that you actually use jquery to get the query parameters. But it turns out you only put it into a plugin. Why though? Why not just use the function? It is as much as available in a named function as in $.getUrlVars(), and it is even shorter! I don’t see one good reason to put this into a jquery plugin.

Besides, the method you used to extract the parameters is adding too much unnecessary steps.

* You can use location.search directly, so you don’t have to search for ?.
* If you don’t have to support IE (https://caniuse.com/#search=urlsearchparams) you can use new UrlSearchParams(location.search)

The title says that you are “using jquery” to get url parameters. But you just make vanilla code a plugin. This is very misleading.
