 * Hello [@trmkr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trmkr/)
 * Thanks for using the Yoast SEO.
 * I assume you are referring to the Pingback HTTP header of the Crawl Optimization
   feature. This **removes links which allow others sites to ‘ping’ yours when they
   link to you**. I’m not sure what you mean by _the the link is still present in
   HTML_. Can you provide an example or a screenshot? You can use any image-sharing
   service like [https://pasteboard.co/](https://pasteboard.co/), [https://snag.gy/](https://snag.gy/),
   [https://imgur.com/](https://imgur.com/), [https://snipboard.io/](https://snipboard.io/),
   or even upload the screenshot to your website. Once you upload it to an image-
   sharing service, please share the link to the image here.
