Hello,
I’m sorry to hear about the increasing number of “404 page” reports in Google Search Console. From your description, it seems like you have already checked various aspects like the number of pages, the correctness of the sitemap, and scanned the website for viruses.
Given the situation you described, it might be beneficial to investigate the source of these 404 errors further. One way to do this is by using Google Search Console to uncover where these errors are coming from.
Here are the steps you can follow:
- Log into the Google Search Console.
- Ensure that the correct variation of your site is selected in the property dropdown menu.
- Navigate to Indexing → Pages and click the Not indexed tab to identify the 404 errors.
- Scroll down to the Why pages aren’t indexed section and look for Not found (404) reasons.
By following these steps in Google Search Console, you can pinpoint the specific URLs that are generating the 404 errors and take appropriate actions to address them.
If you need further assistance or have any questions during this process, feel free to reach out. Thank you for bringing this concern to our attention.
Looking forward to helping you resolve this issue.
