page URL duplicate

Some pages of a client's blog appears to be duplicated.

I can find two versions of some articles :

https://cours-pilates.fr/blog/post.php?s=2015-12-14-pilates-nos-muscles-profonds-sur-le-devant-de-la-scene

and

https://cours-pilates.fr/blog/post.php?s=2015-12-14-pilates-nos-muscles-profonds-sur-le-devant-de-la-scene&page=2

what is the &page=2 extension and how to fix that ? This page doesn't output the article's content by the way...

Thanks

Are you using pagination?

Nope... That's why i am surprised by this behavior. I should check if i don't have pagination on. Never used it...

Where are you seeing this appear?

I discovered this by crawling the site with en SEO tool (SEMrush). It's not harmfull to have those extra pages, but i need to give a good report to my client.

Those pages don't exist. You're just passing query string parameters that do nothing. You could have anything:

https://cours-pilates.fr/blog/post.php?s=2015-12-14-pilates-nos-muscles-profonds-sur-le-devant-de-la-scene&foo=bar

https://cours-pilates.fr/blog/post.php?s=2015-12-14-pilates-nos-muscles-profonds-sur-le-devant-de-la-scene&fruit=apple

https://cours-pilates.fr/blog/post.php?s=2015-12-14-pilates-nos-muscles-profonds-sur-le-devant-de-la-scene&day=friday

they're all meaningless arguments to the same page.
