I’ve got a site that’s gotten the “Googlebot identified a significant increase in the number of URLs” error. It looks like the bad urls (returning 404s) are all of the form https://site/t/slug/id?page=XXX. And changing XXX to XXX-y makes the URLs work fine. (I thought it was an off-by-one error a…

This is only an issue we can address if you can find actual cases on the forum where the meta tags link to non existent pages If the content is looking good and google are just having an adventure adjusting to the fact that a book once had 100 pages and now has 10 there is not much we can do, a 301…

Found this topic after encountering the same issue. I fail to see how this is google’s problem, you can’t expect every page to be reindexed every hours. Are you seriously saying that discourse can’t check that if a link includes ?page=2 which would translate to /21, but if the topic shrunk to 19 p…

We are already using 2.3.0.beta2, so that did not fix the issue.

Can you provide live URLs demonstrating the problem?

Of course, e.g. take the first hit from this search , which links to this . (assuming google will show you the same results, but if not, then just use the last link of my reply directly.) if you remove page=2 or use page=1 it works. Thank you for looking into it, @codinghorror !

Actually, you don’t need live examples from elsewhere - take this thread on your own server, it doesn’t do too well either: Googlebot 404 errors due to page numbers - same problem.

That topic was split so you destabilized the page number, it is a fundamental limitation with our numbering implementation Take a book analogy, in a book if you rip out page 77, page 200 remains page 200. In Discourse page 200 becomes page 199 I guess, maybe it does make sense to auto redirect hig…

Make sure you are on latest (2.2 final or 2.3 beta) as an important fix went out for web crawler pagination about a month ago.
