      Is it ok to use hash(#) in URL as right now it is showing 404 error while checking broken links using check my link chrome extension.

      E.g. http://instafrsh.com/index.php#aboutUs

        Hi Ravi,

        Not sure which link checker you are using - I did a quick check with both Screaming Frog & an extension in Chrome. Both indicate that the anchors do not generate 404's. They seem to be functional as well so it shouldn't be a problem. 
        Anyway, anchors exist for ages and do not cause SEO issues - so it's safe to use them.

        I noticed that both the www & non-www version are accessible - you might want to choose a preferred version & redirect the other one.

        Dirk
