Noindexed page still receives internal links

What this means

Internal links point at a page that cannot be indexed. The link equity flowing into those links is spent on a destination that will never rank, and users following site navigation land on a page Google will not surface. Long-lived noindex pages also eventually have their outgoing links treated as nofollow.

How to fix it

Either drop the noindex so the linked page can earn its traffic, or repoint the internal links at the indexable page that should receive them and remove the links to this URL.

Fix effort

This check needs review: the change can be drafted for you, but a person has to approve the wording or choose the target before it ships.
