  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention.

    Those URLs are indeed returning a 404 error.

    You should run the URL inspection tool of your GSC account to inspect those URLs and check the referring page where they are coming from.

    Once you know their referring page, you can remove or update them so Google won’t discover those kinds of URLs.

    Looking forward to helping you.

    Yes I know they are in 404 but my question is how to make Rankmath not index variable or paginated urls.
    Thanks

    Hello,

    You can set your paginated pages to noindex from Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Miscellaneous Pages, but I believe your paginated pages are already set to noindex – I checked one of your pagined pages that was not returning 404, and I can see the noindex tag on it.

    Don’t hesitate to let us know if you need help with anything else.

    So what should I do to stop indexing these pages and remove the /?= urls

    Hello,

    Since the pages are returning a 404 error and set to Noindex, Google will not index them. However, if you want to prevent Google from crawling these URLs, you can add the disallow rules to your robots.txt file:

    Disallow: */?wmc-currency=*
    Disallow: */?add-to-cart=*
    Disallow: */pagina/*
    Disallow: */page/*
    

    Here’s a guide on how to edit your robots.txt using Rank Math:

    Once done, allow Google some time to re-crawl your site to reflect the changes.

    Hope that helps and please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions.
     
    Thank you.
