Duplicate pages?

[communitygal (Emma Furtado)]

Hi all,
Just doing some housekeeping on my instance.

Each category page appears to have an associated blank page/URL. For example:

• • https://www.secopshub.com/c/threat-hunting
  • https://www.secopshub.com/c/threat-hunting?no_subcategories=false&page=1
  • The second (empty) page has a canonical pointing back to the first. It’d be better if these pages didn’t exist unless there is a specific technical reason explaining their existence.

I’m not sure how to delete the associated blank page. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Emma

The second link (with the page=1) represents “the second page of results” intended for non-javascript browsing and is generated dynamically, it’s not a standalone page.

Compare with e.g. https://www.secopshub.com/c/threat-hunting?no_subcategories=false&page=0

How did you come across it?

Thanks for the explanation! I came across it during an audit of my instance. It sounds like there is a functional reason behind the (seemingly) duplicate pages so SEO won’t be affected.

Thanks again,
Emma

They’re not duplicate pages - once you have more than one (non-JS) page of topics for that category, they will start showing up on that second page.
