Very strange HTML docs - what should I do with them through site migration?

[McTaggart]

I've just been looking at a website and it includes numerous web pages with addresses like this. I click on the URL and it takes me to a fully functional web page (not an image) and when I run it through Screaming Frog this comes up as an HTML page. The site has around 150 unique pages and over 450 pages like this one - how should I deal with these pages during an SEO migration (only a few are backlinked to)? I look forward to reading your thoughts.

Hi there.

It looks like some problems with htaccess rewrite rule or redirects. Most likely rewrite rule, since you say that it takes you to html page, not image.

Check that out.

Thanks Dmitrii - I will take a look - as the client is migrating on Tuesday, would you think I could get away with ignoring these during migration, or perhaps I should redirect the pages (very few are backlinked - I can redirect those that are backlinked and leave the rest).

Or should I fix the issue first via htaccess rule before attempting the migration? The web developer has disappeared (before my arrival on the scenes), and nobody has any access, so not sure if I can make much progress - no access to hosting at the mo, or anything.

I quite honestly think that the problem is WITH htaccess, not that you have to fix something else with htaccess.

And as an answer to your question - you always can migrate with issues and hope that nothing breaks during the process, or try to patch it up so it seems to be working fine and, again, hope that it doesn't break on you, OR you can get it fixed at the root of the problem and don't worry about it in the future.
