Duplicated Contents SEO / Every URLs have 1 or more duplicate with nocache parameter

With a crawl SEO software, I've checked that lots of duplicated meta tags are created because, for every URL, other versions of URL are created. These URLs contain no-cache parameter inside the path and this element let me think that probably is a sort of duplicated URL created for the cache. Here an example:

https://domain.com/s/article/Phone-Login (THE ORIGINAL URL)
https://success.tanaza.com/s/article/Phone-Login?nocache=https://domain.com/s/article/Phone-Login (OTHER VERSION OF URL CRAWLED)
https://domain.com/s/article/Phone-Login?r=7&other.KB.getArticle=1&other.KB.getFirmwareInstructionsArticleAPId=1&other.KB.isUserGuest=1 (OTHER VERSION OF URL CRAWLED)

The other versions of URLs work and redirect correctly to the original one. But as how they are a new page with tag title, tag description, etc equal to the original one. And these issues created a penalization for duplicated content for the domain.

It's fundamental to find a solution to remove these alternative URLs. Better if we don't use canonical tags for internal reasons.

I am not sure if this is related to the salesforce as I see the issue with Search engine optimization.

Hi Naveen! Yes, it's a Salesforce issue because the URLs with this problem are simply published. Then it can be some option that create this sort of duplication. My question is: what is this option?

I faced this issue for my custom domain [which is not with salesforce]. I have submitted the removal request in the google search console which removed the indexed URLs that are not required. Not sure if this works for you as they are salesforce related links.
