404 Monitor thisShouldNotExist

    404 monitor keeps listing a link reading thisShouldNotExist. I’m really new to website stuff so it’s all another language to me. I don’t know what this means or how to fix it or even if I should. The link takes me to https://98201seed.com/thisShouldNotExist. If I knew exactly what this page is I guess the easiest thing would be to redirect but I just don’t know what this is. Also, I was trying to test links and used Testomato and now the bot keeps showing up as a user agent. I don’t know if this has added to the issue or what.
    I followed the instructions on the Rankmath help including using robots.txt Tester tool from Google. I have no idea what I’m doing and have become even more frustrated because I don’t know what any of this means…. Can anyone help me and explain what to do like I’m an 8 year old? I attached an image/screenshot and when I submitted this email I was blocked. Let me know what info you need and how to send it to you correctly. Thanks for your time. Hwood

    Hello,

    I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing difficulties with the 404 monitor and the robots.txt Tester tool. It sounds like you’re feeling overwhelmed, but don’t worry, we’re here to help you through this.

    The 404 monitor in Rank Math is designed to identify and track 404 errors occurring on your website. When you see a link reading “thisShouldNotExist,” it means that the page or file being requested doesn’t exist on your website. This could happen for various reasons, such as a mistyped URL, a deleted page, or a page that never existed.

    To fix this, you can use the 404 monitor to identify the referring URL and then decide whether to redirect the URL or create the missing page. If you’re unsure about what to do, it’s best to reach out to your web developer or someone with experience in managing websites.

    Regarding the robots.txt Tester tool from Google, it’s used to check if Google is blocked from crawling a specific URL on your site. If you’re unsure about how to use this tool or interpret the results, I recommend reaching out to our dedicated support team for assistance.

    If you have any screenshots or additional information that you’d like to share with us, you can reply to this ticket and attach the files. Our team will review your case and provide you with detailed guidance on how to address these issues.

    Thank you for reaching out to us, and we appreciate your patience as we work through this together.

    Best regards.
