In google analytics a URL is getting view which does not exsist

Let me explain in detail. We have a html website homepage which fetches recent blog posts from our WordPress blogs page.

Scenario is:

  1. Our website URL is www.xxxxx.com/home.html
  2. Blogs landing page URL is www.xxxxx.com/resources
  3. For showing the recent blogs on homepage we had customized the UI of blogs by creating a separate page as "my-blogs" in WordPress and included this page's URL in iframe inside homepage html as follows:

  <iframe scrolling="no" id="CollabFrame" 
      src="https://www.xxxx.com/resources/my-blogs/" frameborder="0" 
      style="border: 0px none; width: 100%;" target="_top">
      </iframe>

Issue is: When we see the behavior flow in google analytics it shows 80% of traffic is going to "https://www.xxxx.com/resources/my-blogs/home.html" which does not exists. /home.html is getting appended to the https://www.xxxx.com/resources/my-blogs/ from somewhere which we are not able to figure out. Does analytics count scrolls to iframe section?

Please help in finding how the URL is getting appended after a slash and how to remove this link from analytics which is affecting the ratings. Please ask for editing the question if i have failed to explain my problem.

Go into your View settings. I suspect that your Default page setting has been set to home.html. It sounds like you don't need this. Delete the value, and save your settings. Future pageviews won't show up as /home.html. Unfortunately your previous hits cannot be changed.
