You are seeing "Page with Redirect" issue in Google Search Console, which can happen mostly due to mobile URLs (?m=1) . Let's understand this in detail and see its permanent solution.
What is the "page with redirect" issue?
When Google crawls your site, if a redirect (301 or 302) is found on any page, then "Page with Redirect" issue is shown in Search Console. In your case, ?m=1 URLs (which are Blogger's mobile version URLs) are creating the issue.
This issue is mostly caused by old templates or settings of Blogger, which generate ?m=1 version for mobile users. If your site is already responsive, then these ?m=1 redirects are not necessary.
How to fix page with redirect
Step 1: Check Blogger's Mobile Redirect Settings:
- Go to Blogger Dashboard.
- Open the Theme section.
- There will be a "Mobile Settings" option below.
- Enable "Custom" or "Desktop" mode here. (If the default mobile theme is being used, set it to "Desktop Mode".)
- Save changes.
This step will ensure that Blogger avoids the ?m=1 version and only indexes the desktop URL.
Step 2: Make changes in Blogger Robots.txt
If you block ?m=1 URLs in robots.txt, Google will not index them.
- Go to Blogger Dashboard → Settings → Custom robots.txt.
- Add this code:
User-agent: * Disallow: /*?m=1 Allow: / Sitemap: https://www.creatoryt.in/sitemap.xml
- Save it.
This step will tell Google to ignore ?m=1 URLs so that they are not indexed.
Step 3: Check the Canonical Tag
Blogger templates should have the canonical tag automatically. You can check it by opening the source code of your site (Ctrl + U):
<link rel="canonical" href="https://www.creatoryt.in/" />if it is missing, then you are using a custom theme of blogger or there is some issue. In this case you can also add it manually.
Step 4: Remove Redirected URLs in Google Search Console
- Go to Search Console → Removals.
- Make a New Request and send a request to remove ?m=1 URLs.
- Google will remove these URLs in some time.
After this step Google will only index the original URLs.
Step 5: Fix Internal Links
If any of your blog posts has a link of ?m=1 version, then replace it with a normal link (remove ?m=1).
Example:
Wrong Link:
https://www.pskathait.in/2024/01/blog-post.html?m=1
Correct Link:
https://www.pskathait.in/2024/01/blog-post.html
This will ensure that the internal linking also has the correct URLs.
Conclusion
If you follow the above 5 steps then the ?m=1 issue will be permanently fixed and Google will only index the correct pages. If you have any other doubts, let us know!
