I've added some pages to a Joomla website (by adding articles). At first these articles weren't linked to the right menu yet. So the link was something like "site.com/2-uncategorised/25-bureau-lokeren".

After I added the site to the right menu, the link was like it should be "site.com/bureau-lokeren".

When I crawled the site with screaming frog, the pages didn't appear in the result anymore.

However, if I surf to the /2-uncategorised/ links in my browser, the link stil works and displays the content (even after ctrl F5).

So now I have 2 pages with the same content, 'tho the wrong links dont show up in screaming frog tool (also, anyone knows why this is? I thought screaming frog finds every link on a site).

Is this just how Joomla works and I shouldn't worry, or should I do something about this so google doesn't penalize me for duplicate content?
