    Hi

    I found this tip through the forum, so I hope its ok to ask here

    if I try site:piranhaphotography.com in the address bar, it shows the indexing that Google sees

    What I dont understand is that most of the links there are all 404’s where do they all come from and why doesn’t Google look at the site and see there are 1000’s of correct links?

    Is there a way with RankMath to set Google straight?

    TIA Douglas

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    I couldn’t replicate the issue with 404 URLs. You can use Rank math 404 monitor to check the URLs that lead to 404 then redirect them to their related pages.

    If you are still having this issue, please share some of the affected URLs so we can check from our end.

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    Thank you for replying

    I get this when I type in site:piranhaphotography.com see the screen grab attached
    site:piranhaphotography.com

    where do these mystery ‘pages’ come from ? Have I set something up incorrectly? (we have set up 301’s for the first few links)

    but RankMath says there are no broken links. The links shown in site:piranhaphotography.com are all /pages we dont have any pages, only posts, is there a way I can check or stop Google looking at these pages?

    Or does it not matter?

    Thanks for any insight you can provide

    Our blog posts are continuous, in that at the bottom of the blog post there is a ‘show more’ button, there are no pages 1, 2, 3 etc

    Just to clarify the ‘pages’ with duplicate titles and meta descriptions are pages like the below, and duplicate content is bad for SEO? –

    https://www.piranhaphotography.com/blog/page/50/

    https://www.piranhaphotography.com/blog/page/24/

    The above pages don’t seem to me to be needed at all as when you click on the blog and ‘show more’ this becomes one continuous page.

    Maybe it is historical, if so how often if at all does Google flush its cache of our site?

    Hello,

    Thank you for the follow up.

    Since the paginated pages no longer exist on your site, there is unlikely to be any cache updated as there is no page to crawl. In your case, you should redirect these pages to your main blog page using 410 Content Deleted type of redirection.

    You should also use Google Search Console to request URL removal, here is a guide: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9689846?hl=en

    Hope this helps you.
