 * My website is creating additional URL for pages and this causes Google Search
   console to tag same page with duplicate meta description and duplicate title 
   tags. Here is the example URL generated by my WordPress site.
 * /page/177?how-to-remove-live
    /page/177?refsite=www.n1ads.com&ref=alexa-traffic-
   rank /page/177?showtopic=123089
 * I have no idea how these were generated but they are all accessible. Anyone here
   knows how to avoid this?
 * Thanks a lot.

 * It sounds like your site may have been compromised. Remain calm and carefully
   follow [this guide](https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_My_site_was_hacked). When
   you’re done, you may want to implement some (if not all) of [the recommended security measures](https://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress).
