Our site is getting domain/page/2 domain/page/3 up to 15 pages in the google index. Check https://globaltechgadgets.com/
Maybe it is because of mobile theme which shows 1,2,3,.. pages from the homepage. you have to fix it asap as it is causing SEO issues.
ALSO, I do not want https://globaltechgadgets.com/tdb_templates/footer-default-pro/ this page to be in Google index. It does not make sense why theme/tagDiv templates are getting indexed in Google. I have already excluded it from Yoast.
You need to fix these issues!
Hi Nagarig,
The problem with page 1,2,3.. from search, it seems that when google indexed your website, you have some pagination and you access these links you’ll be redirect to 404 page if these are no longer available on your website, for these that are still there will be redirect to that address, for example https://globaltechgadgets.com/category/technology-news/page/2/
If these were already indexed by google then it will take some time until these will be remove, but disable the cloud template from yoast to be indexed will prevent this for other cloud templates.
Thank you!
I have already disabled it in yoast.
About 1,2,3, pages. It is not only about categories. It is same with Homepage! For example: https://globaltechgadgets.com/page/2/
https://globaltechgadgets.com/page/3/
https://globaltechgadgets.com/page/4/
https://globaltechgadgets.com/page/5/
https://globaltechgadgets.com/page/10/
Its not only about indexing. Main problem is, why this page is even there!
Hi,
The pages
https://globaltechgadgets.com/page/2/
….
https://globaltechgadgets.com/page/10/
are indexed from mobile theme version -> https://i.imgur.com/hiIAwrS.png not from desktop version.
Thank you!
Exactly… and this should not happen. So you have to disable this function of the mobile theme.
Hi,
I already make a not to our developers to check if this is correct or not.
Thank you!
Ok. waiting for your reply. Give me an Update after you get their response.
Hi Calin, I think adding code from our side is not a good idea. I think theme developers should work on this.
Hi Nagarig,
The answer from our developers was that you should use the same structure for mobile as for desktop, for example if you do not have pagination on desktop, then use the responsive version not the mobile theme plugin that has pagination (posts_loop), in this way in google results you’ll no longer get these results (for pages, but for categories will be display if is the case).
Also he said that at this moment they are working to improve the mobile theme plugin, but do not said what features this plugin will have.
Thank you for your understanding!
OK, we will try responsive. So if we decide to use responsive theme only, can we disable or uninstall mobile theme plugin?
Yes, you can!
There will be no issues after Theme updates etc right?
Hi Nagarig, normal there should be no problems, but to make sure please make a full backup to your website and database only only after that make the theme update.
Thank you!
OK
