Thousands of /?wordfence_logHuman Showing in Google Now?

Hi @mtnweekly , thanks for reaching out.

Can you please confirm the Wordfence version you’re on? Wordfence appends a parameter during the process of checking whether a visitor is human but hasn’t used the name wordfence_logHuman for quite some time. We’re unable to provide support for older versions of the plugin and recommend that customers keep WordPress, Wordfence, and other plugins up-to-date at all times to ensure the security of their site.

The Live Traffic feature in Wordfence uses  ?wordfence_lh=x&hid=xxx… query string URLs, and so these are normal to observe. When these URLs are visited, the expected behavior is to return a blank page. With time, Google should recognize that those paths are not useful to crawl.

If the URLs in your case don’t return a blank page, it indicates that Google bots are listing different query string combinations as legitimate site pages, which is often due to a theme misconfiguration – automatically redirecting any invalid page URLs to the homepage.

You may need to consult your theme developer or address plugin/custom code settings that might be causing this behaviour.

Thanks,
Mark.

The latest version like all of our plugins? Version 7.10.4 We dont have any automatic redirects in place.

Hi@mtnweekly , thanks for getting back to us.

With time, Google should recognize that those paths are not useful to crawl. 

If the issue is still persistent, could you please share a few URLs you’re seeing?

Thanks,

Mark.

… the same here, also since a longer time:
