# Remove ?replytocom link to avoid duplicate content

WordPress automatically creates a response link per comment. If you have a lot of comments on your article, it can create a ton of totally useless link for search engines crawlers and waste your crawl budget.

Prevent this by replacing the default link with an anchor as shown in this example below:

`https://www.example.com/my-blog-post/?replytocom=10#respond` => `#comment-10`

To do that, go to your WordPress admin, **SEO**, **Advanced**, **Advanced** tab.
