Hello,
I’m sorry to hear that you are experiencing multiple 404 error page URL hits in the Rank Math dashboard.
404 errors can occur for various reasons such as someone typing the wrong address, linking to the wrong address, moving a page or file to a different address, deleting a page or file, or if the page or file never existed. These errors are common and mostly harmless.
To investigate further and understand the specific URLs causing these errors, you can navigate to Rank Math SEO → 404 Monitor in your WordPress dashboard. This section will provide you with detailed information about each 404 error, including the URI (link of the 404 page), Hits (number of times the 404 page was visited), and Access Time (last time the 404 page was visited).
By analyzing this data, you can prioritize fixing the URLs with the most hits first. If you need more assistance in resolving these errors, feel free to explore our guide on fixing 404 errors here.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Let me know if you need further assistance or have any other questions.
Best regards.

Hi again,
Did you get a chance to check what is the reason for all of these 404 urls thay I am seeing?
Thanks
Hello,
Please note that we only report 404s, and 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.
You can also add them to the exclusion list at WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > General Settings > 404 Monitor > Exclude Paths.
Looking forward to helping you.
