Massive duplicate product catalog bloating SEOcritical

The store has 1,250+ products indexed, but the sample reveals severe duplication: identical items (e.g., 'Blanccremecarbone Exterior: Cotton Polo' by AMI Paris appears 4 times with different handles; 'Smokegreywool Sneaker' appears 4 times). Additionally, 250 collections exist but many show 0 products (e.g., 's-max-mara-men', 'nude-men', '1017-alyx-9sm-women'), indicating broken or empty category pages.

Duplicate products dilute crawl budget, split link equity, create indexing confusion, and degrade search rankings; empty collections trigger 404s or thin-content penalties that directly suppress organic traffic and perceived store authority.
