Hello,
Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
These URLs are the query parameter of your whitelist products and you’ll not want to index them on SERPs. In this case, you can add the following rule to your robots.txt file to prevent Google from crawling these URL:
Disallow: */?add_to_wishlist=*
Here’s how can you edit your robots.txt file with Rank Math: https://rankmath.com/kb/how-to-edit-robots-txt-with-rank-math/
Hope that helps and please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions.
