404 Monitor – webfonts and other errors

    I need some help with this please, appreciate any guidance you can give.

    I’ve followed the guide so am happy dealing with any “normal” errors that show in the 404 monitor (pages I’ve deleted, job postings that have expired etc) but I’m seeing some strange ones that I don’t know why they are appearing or what to do next.

    Webfonts

    I have lots of similar webfont errors to this: wp-content/themes/jobhive/assets/webfonts/fa-regular-400.svg The referrer is my own homepage.

    Images

    wp-content/uploads/2022/09/winesplashlogo450471-100×100.png and apple-touch-icon.png are showing.

    Readme Txt

    wp-content/plugins/ninja-forms-uploads/readme.tx is showing, I’m not using Ninja Forms so not sure how this is showing.

    Javascript related

    I then have a number of JS related ones like maps.gstatic.com and http://www.googletagmanager.com the list is the same as the list I’ve added to DNS Prefetch in Litespeed. I’m not sure how to handle these in the 404 monitor.

    Homepage

    I then have three instances of my homepage being reported. There’s nothing under referrer for these though and the user agent info is as follows: Chrome 105.0.5195.125 | Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 6.0.1; Nexus 5X Build/MMB29P) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/105.0.5195.125 Mobile Safari/537.36 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)

    Really appreciate any explanation on why these are showing and what I should be doing with each of them from here.

    Thanks again.

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math for help with your 404 errors.

    Please note that Rank Math only records 404 errors and we cannot determine the cause of the errors. That said I will address the ones you have highlighted.

    Webfonts

    The webfonts link is related to your theme. You can contact your theme support for help with that.

    Images

    wp-content/uploads/2022/09/winesplashlogo450471-100×100.png may have previously existed on your page but no longer exists or was not available when the page was accessed. Please check that the page it was requested from is displaying correctly, if so, you can safely ignore the error.

    Apple-touch-icon is automatically checked by all Apple devices looking for an icon specially adapted for Apple devices. You can ignore this 404 error.

    Readme Txt

    Caused by malware robots testing for outdated plugin with vulnerabilities. You can ignore this 404 error. You may also notice 404 errors for other plugins you did not install.

    Javascript related

    Please check with litespeed cache support on the DNS prefetch related 404 errors as they may be better prepared to address them.

    Homepage

    Occasionally working URLs may give a 404 error. This may be due to a brief server or internet interruption. If the frequency/duration of homepage 404s is high, please contact your hosting support for assistance. For other pages, first check if there are any plugins that might affect their loading and contact the relevant plugin support.

    Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have questions.
