  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting the support.

    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.
    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:
    https://rankmath.com/kb/fix-404-errors/

    Or, you can add them to the exclusion list at WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > General Settings > 404 Monitor > Exclude Paths
    fix 404

    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.

    Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

    Hello thank you for your answer! Now, using advanced mode I found where the error come from, looks internal, but still do not know where to fix, since I do not have those pages.

    Hello,

    As we don’t report where those URLs are generated from, you can either ignore them or block possible malicious bots that are visiting said URLs. You may contact your hosting to help you with that.

    Hope that helps.
