In my google search console
How does the crawler see that these pages that look like this :
https://mydomain/v34243.asp
https://mydomain/wp-head.php?v985495.asp
existing on my site and in fact they do not exist at all ?
And thus they redirect to a page " The page you requested cannot be found! "
It constantly indexed and thousands of pages have been found in this format.
I tried to search here for a post that shows this problem but I did not find it, How can I prevent these pages from being indexed ?
Thanks in Advance
The page does not exist so it is not found.
If you or the person before you purchased the site name had a wp site - that could do it, links on other sites, old links.
You can not stop google doing whatever google wants to do.
You submit a valid sitemap and if you must you can request de-indexing of pages, but it will de-index non existent pages all by itself.
All of this can take a very very long time.
Little point to search for forum posts about google - it has nothing to do with Opencart - use the regular google search

Inspect URL for the pages in Search Console and see what he Referring page is. May give you a clue as to where the Google finding the links from.

Thank you for these clear details that gave me a deep insight into the problem. I have already sent the sitemap for indexing and made some modifications to my site. To know the results, I have to wait for some time to see what happens and perhaps I will come back again with something useful on this particular point as time goes on.by mona wrote: ↑Tue Feb 11, 2025 8:52 pmFurther to ADD Creatives's post.

I can say after two months that ONLY one new page appeared in the report during this period, and I see this as a very good result. Also, the graph shows that the affected pages began to decrease. I would like to test more times and update with you
Sounds good, thanks for coming back and keeping us updated!
