Does the engine fix this itself?

No. This one needs a decision a person has to make, so it is reported with the evidence rather than changed automatically.

Why it matters

Filter combinations can multiply into millions of near-identical pages.

What to do about it

Canonicalise or block the combinations that have no search demand.

This one is reported rather than applied. It needs a judgement a person has to make, and applying it automatically would be a change to your site that nobody decided on.

How it is weighted

These are the values the scoring actually uses, not a description of them. Priority is derived from all three rather than chosen, which is why a high-impact, low-effort finding surfaces above a severe one that would take a quarter to fix.

Severity: high
Impact: 60% of the weight this category can carry
Effort: 50%, where 100% is a project rather than a change
Confidence: 80% that a hit is a real problem rather than a pattern we misread
Area: Ecommerce
