How can we stop Googlebot indexing dynamically generated URLs?

Re: How can we stop Googlebot indexing dynamically generated URLs?

I'm having the same issue. Did you ever figure out the problem? Or beanle to stop it. 

Re: How can we stop Googlebot indexing dynamically generated URLs?

To stop Googlebot from indexing dynamically generated URLs, you can use a combination of robots.txt rules and meta tags. Disallowing specific query parameters in robots.txt or using the URL Parameters tool in Google Search Console helps control what gets crawled. Also, make sure you're not linking to those URLs internally if they don’t offer unique value.

On a related note, if you're managing media-heavy content or IPTV platforms, many developers prefer tools like download XCIPTV for reliable playback during testing. While it won’t affect SEO directly, a smooth player can help ensure your media content works well before going live.

Hi Alex, this is a common issue in Magento 1.x as it generates duplicate and parameterized URLs. To fix it, enable canonical tags, use meta no-index for search and layered navigation pages, configure URL parameters in Search Console, check server logs for crawled dynamic URLs, and keep your XML sitemap clean with only canonical pages. It may take some time, but these steps will help stabilise your indexed count.
