Guidance on Removing URL Fragments in Khoros Community Classic

Hello everyone,

Google recently provided feedback indicating that using fragments in URLs is not considered a best practice. As a result, I've been asked if we can eliminate fragments on the server side.

For example, consider the following URL:

https://community.khoros.com/t5/Khoros-Communities-Aurora/Analytics-Support-for-3rd-party-tools-eg-Google-Analytics-Custom/m-p/763108#M246 

While Aurora does not use fragments, which is great, I am curious about potential mitigation strategies for those still using Classic.

As far as I understand, and I admit I'm not a developer, the only way to address this issue is on the client side via the Page Initialization Script. Is there a possibility to handle this on the server side, perhaps through Khoros Professional Services?

Additionally, I have concerns about the impact of removing fragments. If we were to implement a solution, would it prevent users from linking to specific replies? While this may improve SEO, it could also affect core functionality.

Any thoughts/feedback is welcome as I'm a bit stumped here
