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.

Check this option “Remove ?replytocom link in source code and replace it with a simple anchor” and click Save changes.

Clear your cache if necessary.
