How to Redirect domain.com/something/1000

I have a website built on Laravel.

I have a chain of URLs:

example.com/something/1000
example.com/abc/1000
example.com/xyz/1000

Above URLs never existed on the website but Google is somehow noticing them.

Is there a way through .htaccess to redirect all those kind of URLs to:

example.com/something/1000 to example.com/something
example.com/abc/1000 to example.com/abc
example.com/xyz/1000 to example.com/xyz

Many thanks!

I am expecting a .htaccess code.

Solution

but Google is somehow noticing them.

If Google is actually indexing them then they must have existed (at least at some point) on your site. By "exists", we mean return's a "200 OK" response code.

If these URLs really do not exist and return a "404 Not Found" response then there is nothing you really need to do here as a 404 is the correct response and is enough to prevent search engines from indexing those URLs.

If these URLs have been erroneously linked to by a third party (and Google is perhaps crawling these URLs) then you can implement a redirect.

Something like the following using mod_rewrite at the top of the root .htaccess file would redirect URLs of the form /<something>/1000 to /<something>, covering the 3 examples you've listed:

RewriteEngine On

# Redirect "/something/1000" to "/something"
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/1000$ /$1 [R=301,L]

Note that this matches URLs containing a single path-segment, followed by /1000 at the end of the URL-path. The $1 backreference contains the captured URL-path before /1000.
