      An example URL can be found here: http://symptom.healthline.com/symptomsearch?addterm=Neck%20pain&addterm=Face&addterm=Fatigue&addterm=Shortness%20Of%20Breath

      A couple of questions:

      1. Why is Google reporting an issue with these URLs if they are marked as noindex?

      2. What is the best way to fix the issue?

      Thanks in advance.

        It's not a huge deal, but generally you want to keep the number of links per page to around 100. Even though you have those pages noindexed, Google is still going to crawl them, which wastes your crawl budget. The only way to fix the issue is to have fewer links on the page. It doesn't look like you have that many links on the page, so it's probably not a big deal.

          Thanks Takeshi. Why does Google send out a warning if it isn't a huge deal?
