    I’m currently making blog posts and the actual blog posts are being indexed, but these pages with /rss2 and /feed at the end are being crawled by Google how can I prevent this please?

    Hi Spray,
    Hope so you’re doing well, to prevent Google from crawling your RSS feed pages, you can use the “robots.txt” file to disallow the indexing of those pages. Add the following lines to your “robots.txt” file:

    User-agent: *
    Disallow: //rss2/
    Disallow: //feed/

    This will block Google and other search engines from indexing any pages that end in “/rss2” or “/feed”. You can also use the Rankmath plugin to add this code to your “robots.txt” file.

    Hope so you’re doing well!
