Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math support. I’m sorry to hear that you’re having issues with Google Search Console reporting 4xx errors for your admin-ajax.php file.
This file is used by WordPress and some plugins to perform various actions on your site. It is not meant to be indexed by Google or accessed by visitors. Therefore, it is normal that it returns a 4xx status code when Google tries to crawl it. You can simply ignore the 4xx issue for this URL, don’t worry it would not affect your SEO.
As for the 404 errors that you see in the Rank Math 404 Monitor, these are requests that are made to your site that do not exist. They could be caused by broken links, typos, bots, or malicious attempts. You can ignore them if they are not related to your site’s content or functionality. You can also redirect them to a relevant page using the Rank Math redirections module.
PS: the images you shared were not linked properly.
I hope this helps. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reply to this ticket and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
Thank you for using Rank Math!

Hello,
Thank you for your reply. We appreciate your cooperation.
We have checked the 404 errors that you listed and we can confirm that they are mostly not related to your site’s content or functionality. They are most likely caused by malicious bots that are trying to access pages that do not exist on your site.
You don’t need to worry about these errors as they will not affect your SEO or user experience. You can simply ignore them and delete them from the 404 Monitor.
However, if you want to redirect these pages to a relevant page on your site, you can do so using the Rank Math redirections module. This will prevent the bots from seeing the 404 error and send them to a different page instead.
To create a redirection for these pages, you can follow this guide: https://rankmath.com/kb/fix-404-errors/#the-high-hits
This guide will show you how to use the 404 Monitor to create a redirection for your 404 errors. You can also use regular expressions to create a redirection for multiple pages at once.
We hope this helps you deal with the 404 errors on your site. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns about the steps. We are always here to help you.
Best regards,
