# Plugin creating URLs for each heading

 * Hello!
 * I’ve installed this plugin and I’m using it in my posts. Each post has 7-10 headings.
   Now the problem is that I see in Google Search Console and Google Analytics that
   apparently the plugin created new URLs for each heading!
 * For example:
    mydomain.com/mypostname mydomain.com/mypostname/#1firstheading 
   mydomain.com/mypostname/#2secondheading mydomain.com/mypostname/#3thirdheading
 * Does anyone know if there’s any advantage to this for SEO? I honestly don’t see
   it. How can I disable this?
 * Thanks in advance 🙂

 * These are in-page links (anchors) that are a web standard and how all TOC plugins
   work. The TOC is generated, and add a link to each heading in the post that the
   TOC will link.
 * If you do not wish to have in-page links (anchors) generated, the only option
   is to deactivate the ezTOC plugin.
 * As for the SEO benefit, in-page links, a web search engine may decide to list
   those as part of the search results on popular pages on your site.

 * Thank you very much for your explanation Steven. That makes sense! I was afraid
   it would create too many additional links that would mess up with my SEO, because
   my site’s new pages aren’t getting indexed anymore since a few months I’m trying
   to find out why.
