  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    We only report the 404s. 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 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.

    You can also fix these errors by redirecting them to a related page on your website:

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

    Could you please expand on this?

    Hello,

    Thank you for keeping in touch with us.

    Since you have just installed Rank Math, it could be that your Google tracking services might not be installed properly hence you are getting a drastic drop in your traffic in your Analytics. Could you instead share your website URL so we can further check it?

    You may also check this by heading over to your Rank Math > General Settings > Analytics

    We are looking forward to helping you.

    Actually, i have not connected the Google console yet. But thats not what i was talking about anyway, so just drop it. youre of no help, unfortunately. i will figure it out.

    Hello,

    We deeply apologize for the confusion.

    You are right this has nothing to do with Rank Math’s analytics code in your website.

    Although Rank Math has no effect on the AdWords traffic conversion drop of traffic. This could be related to how you have set up your keyword strategy in the AdWords sets you have created. Also, it is important to know that the destination URL address of the site you have linked in the AdWords sets does not lead to 404s.

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