Why Magento Indexation Gets Messy
Default Magento leaves many crawlable URL shapes that should not compete:
- Parameter sprawl — filters and tracking params create near-duplicate pages
- Staging leaks — non-production hosts get indexed without robots discipline
- One-size robots — Magento defaults lack fine-grained rule control
