Joomla Page navigation links for category block shows strange additional URL parameters in the link - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support
hello,
refer joomla website - www.anildagia.com
i have menu item of category blog - www.anildagia.com/testimonials
when go section of website - shows first page & remaining articles, shows page navigation links @ end.
so e.g. - link page 2 of section of website shows - http://www.anildagia.com/testimonials?start=8
likewise page 3 shows - http://www.anildagia.com/testimonials?start=16
but once navigate of pages 2, 3 ,4 or other page then
the links page 1 becomes - http://www.anildagia.com/testimonials?p ... mitstart=0
page 2 link becomes - http://www.anildagia.com/testimonials?p ... ur&start=8
page 3 link becomes http://www.anildagia.com/testimonials?p ... r&start=16
as can see there additional parameters included in url.
where these parameters coming from? why? has site been hacked? how investigate & fix issue?
there 1 more strange phenomenon happens.
suppose go joomla administrator & change number of articles show in 1 page new value. these additional parameters not shown in url link.
and after if again go , change number of articles show in 1 page original value - again additional parameters not shown in url link.
it after delay these additional parameters appended url link.

ok.. here able find out on own & second or third opinion...
the additional parameters getting added url link being picked cache files. if cleared cache, original url links coming joomla cms.
so checked apache logs , found there website crwlers & bots access pages using links had additional parameters tagged it. why bots & crawlers - not know.
is maybe paid add these tags tags go in search rankings?? don't know.
so found out bots accessing these pages had navigation link & blocked them in robots.txt.
any advice experts?
