    I found out that /?no_redirect=true is normal, just on one of my sites i used to have a duda mobile redirect hence i think picked up by google.
    Could ( is it worth doing) a redirect
    so anything ending with /?no_redirect=true
    redirects 301 to the source file.
    i.e

    mysite.com/page1/?no_redirect=true redirects
    mysite.com/page1/

    mysite.com/page232/?no_redirect=true redirects
    mysite.com/page232/

    //301 Redirect Old File
Redirect 301 /?no_redirect=true /

    ????

    after reviewing more info, this is a mobile redirect issue, so the advice is to add it in WMT under parameters and select used for tracking then add to robots file to block indexing.

    It looks like lots of people have this same question. From what I understand looking around the Internet it appears that this is a recommendation provided by Google Webmaster Tools (WMT) regarding Mobile device redirects. It looks like this is something that you would take care of in WMT and using a wildcard disallow in your robots.txt file.

    Since I have no idea what any of this means then I cannot offer much more help.

    OK thanks. The wildcard block also stops other js files rendering, so i think as they are canonical to real page, then i won’t get duplicate issues.

    Real pain working out these days all the rules, exceptions, changes etc etc.

    I think that the duda redirect i once had is still indexed so maybe best let Google get a 404 to know its gone rather than block it..

    But then again, it will see a 200 not a 404 as the page is there.. Blimey headaches
