Non-existent domain.com/home/ is getting indexed

[ad_1]

I set up a new wordpress install recently.

My root [www.domain.com](http://www.domain.com) is my homepage and it shows a list of my latest post, which is what I want.

Somehow Google is indexing [www.domain.com/home/](http://www.domain.com/home/) (which leads to a 404 page).

I do not have a page called “Home” in the WordPress Pages or Posts dashboard. I don’t have any pages or posts with a url slug labelled “home”

I do not have [www.domain.com/home/](http://www.domain.com/home/) anywhere on my sitemap\_index.html, page-sitemap.xml, post-sitemap.xml

I have checked that there are no internal links going to www.domain.com/home/

Where is this culprit page? How does this link show up on Google? How do I remove it so [www.domain.com](http://www.domain.com) shows up as my only homepage?

**Wordpress Dashboard Settings:**

**Settings > General:**

WordPress Address (URL): [https://domain.com](https://domain.com)

Site Address (URL): [https://domain.com](https://domain.com)

**Settings > Reading:**

Your homepage displays: Your latest posts

  1. Why not just 301 [domain.com/home](http://domain.com/home) to your actual homepage?

    It’s indexed and getting traffic, might as well take advantage.

    (Though if I was the guy you outranked with a nonexistent page I’d be pretty annoyed)
