Drupal 9.5.8 standard installation; I never did anything about RSS feeds in that website.

In Google Search Console, under Crawled - currently not indexed section, I was surprised to come across this webpage:

example.com/taxonomy/term/NUMBER/feed

In /admin/modules I read that the (deprecated) module Aggregator isn't on, and I don't recall ever turning it on.

What may cause the RSS feed webpage to be created and how to prevent the creation of such webpages?

The Drupal 9 standard profile creates RSS feeds for taxonomy terms by default.

If you don't want the feeds, you can remove (delete or disable) them from the taxonomy term view in Admin -> Structure -> Views.

  • In the Views list I have also found Frontpage view with Feed (/rss.xml) Page (/node). I don't use it and never has been. Would it be plausible to disable it as well?

  • @haidar Yes, you can disable them. I am not sure whether the feeds provide any SEO benefit, but unless your site is updated quite frequently, any such benefit is probably negligible.
