.... I have lot of image

Posted in: #DirectoryListing #Google #Indexing #Seo

I noticed that in webmaster tools that Google indexed 40K of "index of" pages, ie:
mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/....

I have lot of image galleries and they are stored by Wordpress default uploads folder:

/wp-content/uploads/cars/ferrari/....
/wp-content/uploads/cars/fiat/....
/wp-content/uploads/cars/audi/....
...

There is lot of subdirectories and at final folder are image files, jpg files. So now in webmaster tools for all that 40K pages I have "Not mobile-friendly".

I turned in .htaccess Option -indexes and google start to notify me about:

Googlebot for smartphones found an increase in authorization permission errors

So Im afraid that Google will give me bad reputation in any case. If I leave those "index of" pages he will give me bad Mobile Friendly reputation...and If I put in .htaccess Option -indexes I will got 40K of 403 or 404 pages and he can also understand this very bad?

Any suggestion?

You have done the right thing with the .htaccess -index and the Google message is just informational. Nothing more.

Just let it go and Google will catch up. It will take a while. Search engines are very slow. Drunk one-armed sloths typing "War and Peace" are faster!
