    Rank Math free

    Hello support,

    I am exploring the premium opportunities of the plugin and I was reviewing one of the item in rank math which is the 404 counter.
    And for 2 of my website, it is showing over 80 URLs as shown below.
    I wanted to understand if my website hacked.

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting the support, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    Please note 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:
    https://rankmath.com/kb/monitor-404-errors/#advanced-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.

    If it’s just bots accessing those files, you can block them using your robots.txt file.

    Here’s a guide on how you edit the robots.txt

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

    I hope that helps. Thank you, and please don’t hesitate to contact us if you need further assistance.
