Analytics Shows Traffic reaching /_ingredients/templates/details/

[mischlern (Nicholas Mischler)]

Hello,

In the last month, I have 3600 pageviews in GA4 for pages in /_ingredients/templates/details/. That number is inflated by bot traffic I’m trying to filter away, but I see it happening to a broad set of users (various locations, etc), suggesting it may not just be bots/scrapers getting overzealous and digging too deep.

For example:

1. /_ingredients/templates/details/forms.php?id=12&from=%2Flive%2Fforms%2F12-course-reserves-request-form
   • Real: https://www.beloit.edu/live/forms/12-course-reserves-request-form
2. /_ingredients/templates/details/news.php?id=5186&from=%2Flive%2Fnews%2F5186-how-do-i-want-to-help
   • Real: https://www.beloit.edu/live/news/5186-how-do-i-want-to-help

My primary concern is what avenue can lead a general user to visit a /_ingredients/ page. Does anyone have any insights as to how this may be happening, and if possible, help direct users to the real real page and canonical url?

Thanks,
Nick
