How can I stop my facets being crawled?
-
Hi
If my facets are being crawled, how can I stop this? Or set them up so they are SEO friendly - this is new to me as I haven't had to deal with lots of facets in the past.
Here's an example of a page on the site - https://www.key.co.uk/en/key/lift-tables
Here's an example of a facet URL - https://www.key.co.uk/en/key/lift-tables#facet:-1002779711011711697110,-700000000000001001651484832107103,-700000000000001057452564832109109&productBeginIndex:0&orderBy:5&pageView:list&
I've been trying to read up on URL parameters etc, I'm new to it so it's taking some time to understand
Any advice would be great!

Multi-faceted navigation is tricky as it duplicates ( as it's intended). Reviewing the traffic and using the parameter handling tools within search console is a great way to see how Google is 'seeing' these URLs. I wouldn't recommend blocking them in the robots.txt if you do, these will still be indexed because they are linked to other URL's and Google will stumble upon them.
