  • Hello,

    Thanks for contacting us, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    Feed URLs are not created for humans but for RSS feed crawlers and readers. They are only basic code versions of your actual content pages.

    Those are not meant to be indexed and hopefully, you won’t want these pages to be indexed as Google doesn’t like them and would most not likely not show them to users anyways.

    In this case, please add this rule to your robots.txt to disallow them:

    User-Agent: *
    Disallow: */feed/

    Here’s how you can edit the robots.txt file using Rank Math:
    https://rankmath.com/kb/add-sitemaps-to-robots-txt/#num-2-2-navigate-to-edit-robots-txt

    This should save your crawl budget and after the next few crawls, the warnings should be removed from GSC.

    Hope that helps, and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
