      I would like to know if the use of adding #nameofthesection in a URL with the objective of moving position on a webpage might be somehow harmful?

      IE.

        An interesting article on moz relating to your question here: The First Link Counts Rule and the Hash Sign - Does it Change PR Sculpting?

        I'm sure wayback I had an issue with apple devices not being happy with the # not having a slash.

        index.html#saving-water didn't work but this index.html/#saving-water did. You might want to check it out or I may have just dreamt it!

        • We're considering making notable changes to our website's navigation. Other than 301 redirects from old pages to new, what do I need to consider with this type of move or update?
