Hello!
I’m cleaning up my site.

PW Vortac1000I set the 404 monitor switch ON. Google and Bing are picking up broken pages. I cleared the log so the pages-elements that remain are fresh. I don’t understand what is hitting the logs. Note the ‘purge’ and other entries that are not pages.
What am I missing? It does not seem like most of these are actual 404 worthy.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting the support.
We only report 404 errors. We do not have information on how or why they are generated. You can get further insight into them by enabling the advanced monitor at WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > General Settings > 404 Monitor.
That will give you more information like the referrer and the user-agent. You can use that information to track down the source or find out if it is just bots generating those errors.
You can also fix these errors by redirecting them to a related page on your website:

If you are seeing random 404s that you know for a fact are incorrect – it is likely generated by a bot and can be safely ignored. You could also use a service like Cloudflare to block out access to bots so they do not use up your server resources.
Here’s a great article on how to secure your WordPress website:
