Feature

I have got notification in google console that many pages index in google search engine with URL like “?page=” and “&page=”.

When I check following pages then could not find the Noindex response headers on the Headers tab, ( x-robots-tag: noindex)

Please check below example for your reference.

Above URL has canonical tag declared as below but still its indexed.

Personal opinion: canonical-tag is the tag webpage declared to google to identify pages with the same url.
But the indexing is to be determined by google, the urls of the like?[Parameters_name]=[parameters_value] will still be displayed because it has a hit equivalent that these pages are of interest to the user.
