    Hi @chiaraampartners ,thanks for reaching out.

    These URLs normally show up in Google search/Search Console due to an automatic redirect to a search/home page when a 404 is hit on your site. This can be due 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 totally blank in the browser.

    The ones you are seeing are likely from Google remembering old URLs and trying them again to update their index. With time Google should recognize that those paths are not useful to crawl.

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

    Thanks,
    Mark.
