    Hi, my site is generating a lot of 404 URL’s and may I know to stop this or identify the source from where it’s getting created like any malware issue.

    URL http://www.myinstitutes.com
    Ref. Url’s

    One more issue I noticed with the site map, as I resubmitted the sitemap to google webmaster and I noticed that google webmaster shows as 50k+ pages are found, whereas I have less than 100 elements which include pages, posts, categories, etc so could you let me know where the things are wrong.

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.

    I’m sorry to say that we only report the 404s. We do not have information on how or why they are generated.

    I recommend having a security plugin in place to secure your site from attacks or any malware.

    Here is a guide on how to secure your web server: https://mythemeshop.com/blog/web-server-security/

    and secure your WordPress:

    For your sitemap, you should consider deleting the property from your google account and verifying under a different account, and resubmit your sitemap again.

    I hope that helps.

    Thank you, and please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime if you need further assistance with anything else.
