    Why does the 404 report show URLs that are currently active eg. lemon-essential-oil
    , candy-cane-fragrance-oil
    , french-vanilla-fragrance-oil
    wild-frangipani-fragrance-oil
    the referer being the homepage https://www.sevenscents.co.nz/ see screenshot https://imgur.com/Cxd6YAu

    Also how do I stop the 404 errors to shop/index-https.html_gzip – I followed your article and have installed the plugin suggested however it is still happening.

    THanks!

  • 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 404 errors. We do not have information on how or why they are generated. Since you are seeing random 404s that you know for a fact are incorrect – it is likely generated by a bot and can be safely ignored. You could also use a service like Cloudflare to block out access to bots so they do not use up your server resources.
