Wordpress site, MOZ showing missing meta description but pages do not exist on backend

[SOM24]

I've got a wordpress website (a client) and MOZ keeps showing missing meta descriptions.  When I look at the pages these are nonsense pages, they do exist somewhere but I am not seeing them on the backend.  Questions: 1) how do I fix this?  Maybe it's a rel con issue?

2. why is this referring to "non-sense" pages?  When I go to the page there is nothing on it except maybe an image or the headline, it's very strange.

Any input out there I greatly appreciate.

Thank you

Hi Wendy

It's because those pages are there. You can have those deleted if you dont need them. They are possibly separate HTML files so if you are using a CMS, they won't show there.

Just to be sure, you could show us an example page and we can let you know.

The example of few URLs would help but let me tell you something pretty straight! If the URL is giving a 200 header status that means the URL is there and Moz tool will cover it and show it in the report.

If you think these are “sense-less” pages why not 404 them or redirect them to pages that make some sense! #justanidea

Hope this helps!

you wont find pages on the back end, pages are on the front end,

Can you give us same sample links, thanks

What kind of CMS do you use? That might help figure it out.

Sounds like your CMS is creating these garbage pages, whether or not they live on the backend or not.

On the other hand, this is pretty common and it may not be something you need to worry about. Are the pages cached by Google? You can find out by pasting this search parameter in your browser:

cache:http://example.com/url

or a site: search for an overview of all your cached URLs. (site:example.com)

If the garbage URLs aren't there, you probably don't need to worry much. On the other hand if you see pages of bad results, this might be something you need to address with your developer.
