PLEASE REMOVE ?wordfence_logHuman=1&hid

Hi,
If you were using the latest version of the plugin, it should be “wordfence_lh” not “wordfence_logHuman”, this is a query string that helps in detecting human visits to your website before getting them logged in the Live Traffic feed, normally, this query string shouldn’t be crawled by search engines, using Google Webmasters you can check (Crawl > URL Parameters) to see if they are excluded or not. (you can manually add these parameters there). You may also consider asking Google to re-crawl your website after that.

Thanks.

Hi, it was in Google Console that I found these URLs. I have uninstalled wordfence and used wordfence cleaner but these URLs are still generated, how do I stop it? How can I remove it? It should NOT exist if I remove the plugin.

This is terrible for SEO, in essence the plugin is causing masses of duplicate pages then we have to rely on Google console to tell them there is no effect, then what is the point in producing these duplicate pages? could this be the death of a website being penalised by Googles Panda?

Hi,
It could have been crawled by Google bot back then when you had the plugin installed, you can set Google bot to ignore these parameters by the same method I described in my previous reply here, the instructions still apply for Google Search Console.

Thanks.

OK thanks, I have implemented your suggestion and will see how it pans out over successive crawls by Google.
