warning Noindex page receives internal links (crawl-budget waste)

Rule budget.noindex_linked · Budget · 1 occurrence(s)

  • https://wanderlanemedia.com/wp-login.php — this noindex page has 25 internal inlink(s) — Googlebot follows them, fetches the page, then drops it unindexed, spending crawl budget for no indexing benefit (and the links leak equity). Remove/redirect the links, or drop the noindex if the page should be indexed. Linked from: https://wanderlanemedia.com/index.php/blog/, https://wanderlanemedia.com/index.php/2018/02/17/introducing-fastcast/, https://wanderlanemedia.com/featured-image-homepage/.

notice noarchive directive (blocks cached copy)

Rule directives.noarchive · Indexability · 1 occurrence(s)
