    I have many urls pages errors. I wonder how can I remove the link www. domain/?wordfence_lh=1&hid=6463310EC5D3ED23C667C5D683F0C40C from the sitemap or from the google search console

    I do not want to add the real domain

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @lurday, thanks for reaching out!

    These URLs have been known to show up in Search Console due to an automatic redirect to a search or home page when a 404 is hit on your site. This can be down to a misconfigured theme, or a redirect plugin purposely changing 404 behavior. When one of the wordfence_lh URLs is followed, the page should be a totally blank page in the browser. They are essential URLs used by Live Traffic to identify a human or bot visit, along with an ID to confirm whether they’re a new visitor or have been to your site before – but shouldn’t serve any content.

    If you are seeing blank pages for them currently, the cases in Google Search Console are old URLs that have been crawled in the past. Google should eventually re-crawl and determine the paths aren’t valid pages, so should remove them.

    We used to recommend adding wordfence_lh and hid to the list of parameters that Google can ignore, but that feature has been removed: https://searchengineland.com/google-search-consoles-url-parameter-tool-is-officially-not-working-383828

    Thanks,
    Peter.
