: URLs appended with a fullstop (period) When I log into to my hosting provider to view my website stats I have noticed that there are a few repeated page URLs with a full stop on the end.

@Yeniel560

This is almost certainly due to an incorrect link to your site from somewhere else.

Most forum software has bad auto-link detection so if someone posts a URL at the end of a sentence and finishes the sentence with a period, it will include the period in the URL link. The same thing often happens with URLs in parentheses.

In general there isn't anything you can do. But look at specific circumstances and add 301 redirects, especially if you are getting a lot of traffic to those non-existent URLs, e.g. redirect example.com/1/. to the real URL example.com/1/
