Shopify has a new bug - they are indexing tons of useless pages in Google again. Is there any way to stop this from happening? The code seems to only be editable by shopify since it’s in the content_for_header. Do a google search for: inurl:/web-pixels-manager@ ( https://www.google.com/search?q=in…

@gregbernhardt I understand , but i want to know is there still lots of wpm pages being generated by shopify?

@shadi1 as far as I’m aware, these WPM pages are used for various analytics tracking
