Duplicate pages?

communitygal noticed that each category page on their instance has an associated blank page with a canonical link pointing back to the original page. supermathie explained that these pages are dynamically generated for non-Javascript browsing and represent subsequent pages of results. They are not standalone pages and serve a functional purpose. communitygal acknowledged the explanation, noting that SEO should not be affected. supermathie further clarified that these pages are not duplicates and will display additional topics once the category exceeds one page.

Hi all,
Just doing some housekeeping on my instance.

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

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.
