I asked the hosting several times about the problem regarding the 40xx, 5xx and timeouts codes but they never solved it… Ahrefs reveals timeouts, now a program that checks if pages are broken, detects several 406 codes!
The URLs giving the error are the login page.

Hello,
I’m sorry to hear about the ongoing issues you are facing with 4xx codes, 5xx codes, and timeouts on your website, especially related to the login page. These errors can impact your website’s performance and SEO.
Based on the information provided, it seems like there could be multiple reasons for these errors, including issues with the server response, firewall blocking API requests, or even problems with specific URLs like the login page.
To address these issues, here are some steps you can take:
-
Check Website Status: Ensure that your website is returning a 200 status code. You can use tools like httpstatus.io to check the status of your website. If there are errors shown, you can fix them accordingly.
-
API Timeout: If your website takes more than 30 seconds to load, it can result in timeouts. Optimizing your website’s speed can help resolve this issue.
-
API Requests Blocked by Firewall: If the server security or firewall is blocking API requests, whitelist the IP
193.138.6.5and the user-agentRankMathApi/2.0.2; https://rankmath.com. You can do this in the firewall settings or ask your web hosting provider for assistance.
If you have already tried these steps and the issues persist, I recommend reaching out to your web hosting provider again for further assistance. They can help investigate server misconfigurations that might be causing these errors.
If you need additional help or have any further questions, please feel free to contact our support team. We are here to assist you further with resolving these ongoing issues.
I hope this information helps in resolving the problems you are experiencing on your website. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

I’ve been having problems on wordpress for 3-4 years and they’re always the same:
Some redirects don’t work
it’s terribly difficult to rank on the SERP
Unjustified removal from SERP
Search Console does not validate errors
Sudden timeouts or slowdownsSome redirects don’t work
posts with wp-login redirects have problems. They don’t redirect to the site, but to Google.
I have URLs that are duplicated in the path and I don’t understand why. But they have a 301 redirect and then after that a 404.
If you change the category path, you are unable to do redirects. You have to contact the hosting and wait a few hours to see the result. But then the hosting tells you to delete the redirects because they cause problems.
it is terribly difficult to rank on the SERP
I understand that the online gaming field is very competitive, but I can’t place good positions and good traffic with 120 games. These are all games that bring in 50 monthly users per country or more. I did SEO, optimization. A 3-4 year job and 2 websites. I have made many changes several times, but the results are lacking. I expect to have a thousand regular users after a year and 4 months…
Unjustified removal from SERP
I contacted the seo plugin, hosting, Google support but nothing to do. I’ve been losing pages and keywords from Ahrefs and Search Console for 3 weeks. 0 or very few impressions. hosting only causes disasters, they are not SEO experts and I was just wasting my time. Practically I was writing almost every day with the support of the hosting. I didn’t work much on my site, less than I would have liked.
Search Console does not validate errors
In truth it does the validations every now and then but only if there are few errors. I have many validations that have been failing for over a year. I don’t know what to do anymore, because my work is better than many competitors’. It’s not the best job, but I’m convinced that there are problems that don’t depend on me.
Hello,
Thank you for your query and we are so sorry about the trouble this must have caused.
1. 406 status codes indicate that the server can’t provide a response that meets the criteria set by the client’s request, usually regarding acceptable content types.
Something like this isn’t caused by Rank Math but could be from another plugin or your site’s .htacess.
2. As for the timeouts, this is something you need to discuss with your hosting provider. It is possible that your website can no longer handle the traffic or there’s an operation in your website that uses a massive amount of memory. An upgrade of your server could be inevitable as well.
3. The
wp-loginURLs aren’t supposed to be indexed and the URLs shown in the screenshot are in the wrong format or in encoded format as well. Can you please let us know from where Google has discovered these URLs?4. For the decline in your search impressions, clicks, or ranking in general, here are some reasons why your site might be experiencing that on Google.
4.a Seasonal Fluctuations: Certain industries or topics experience natural fluctuations in search volume throughout the year. If your website or content is related to a specific seasonal trend or event, it’s possible that the decline in impressions is due to a decrease in search interest during this period.
4.b Algorithm Updates: Google frequently updates its search algorithms, which can impact the visibility of websites in search results. If there have been recent algorithm changes, it’s possible that your website’s ranking has been affected, leading to a decline in impressions.
https://rankmath.com/blog/google-algorithm-update-recovery/4.c Technical Issues: It’s important to ensure that your website is properly indexed by search engines and that there are no technical issues preventing Google from crawling and indexing your pages. Check for any errors or warnings in Google Search Console that could be affecting your site’s visibility.
4.d Competitor Activity: Increased competition from other websites or changes in their SEO strategies can impact your impressions. If competitors are optimizing their content better or generating more relevant backlinks, it could lead to a decline in your own impressions.
To identify the specific reason for the decline in impressions, it’s essential to analyze your website’s performance, conduct a thorough review of your SEO strategy, and monitor changes in search trends and competitors.

Now I get code 200 in wp-login urls. Do I remove the disallow on the robots.txt file?
Hello,
No, that type of URL shouldn’t be crawled by search engines unless you want them to show up on the SERP.
You can retain the disallow directive for your wp-login.php and wp-admin URLs.
Can you please confirm if this login URL has been crawled by Google or do you intend to index it?
Looking forward to helping you.
Now I’ll see if I solved the timeout problem on my own yesterday.
I had Category called Games and Category base called Games. I removed the Category base, as it wasn’t needed.
Hello,
Great to hear that you were able to address the timeout issue by removing the redundant category base. If you encounter any further issues or need assistance, feel free to reach out to us.
I don’t know if I solved the problem with this solution. I’ll see. Ahrefs scans are weekly, so the timeouts issue may reappear in 2 months.
Hello,
Let us know how this goes after the rescan.
Meanwhile, if you have any other concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime to assist you further.
Looking forward to helping you.
I am currently not getting new keywords. A little while ago I did a trial test thanks to the support of WordPress, and I discover that I have no problems with the pagination numbers in the categories. On my live site however I have problems. But I didn’t do a complete test, but I tried to see the problem of pagination numbers which reached a maximum of 3.
So, all SEO problems could depend on WordPress.
Hello,
Can you please share some of these paginated URLs so we can check?
Looking forward to helping you.
Hello,
We don’t see any issues with your
/game/archive page and it is currently indexed well on Google SERP.If you have the time to complete the test for that particular page, you may share your findings here with us.
Looking forward to helping you.
