Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
Please note that Rank Math only reports on the 404s. Rank Math doesn’t cause them and cannot stop them as we do not have information on how or why they are generated.
We only give you more information like referrer and user-agent. You can use that information to track down the source or find out if it is just bots generating those errors.
According to the screenshot you shared, it is possible that they are just crawlers/linters that are visiting your homepage periodically to update or check the OpenGraph or metadata and this isn’t something you can control.
Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
Thank you.
Hello Brian,
Thank you for this information.
Actually, I do not understand why these crawlers get a 404 error on my homepage because it works well. Could you please explain me why this is happening?
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
These are not actual 404 errors that would affect your SEO since they represent the interaction of your site with the server and search engine bots.
For this case, you can safely ignore these errors.
I hope that helps.
Thank you, and please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime if you need further assistance with anything else.
