Steps to verify
- Check the original section.
- Change only the fragment option.
- Match instructions to the landing position.
How to interpret the result
Both URLs may identify the same document but open at different positions. Some apps use fragments as state, so do not assume every fragment is an anchor.
Deciding what to do next
Keep the fragment for a specific section such as refunds. Remove it only when the document’s starting view is intended and verified.
Feature scope
Cleanup runs in the browser without visiting the target. Tracking-only and all-query modes differ; removing functional values can change behavior.
Frequently asked questions
Is the fragment a server search query?
It is separate from the query. Its use by the page or scripts depends on the service.
