URL Fragment Identifier

A URL fragment identifier is the portion of a web address after a hash sign, such as #services or #pricing. It commonly points a browser to a particular section of a page, making a long service guide easier to navigate. On a cleaning company's website, a link to a frequently asked question could jump directly to the relevant answer without opening a separate page. The fragment is generally handled within the browser and is not sent to the server as part of a normal HTTP request. It differs from a URL path or query parameter, which can identify resources or supply request information. Fragments should connect to real, accessible page targets rather than act as decorative link text.
