Unsolved Crawled 404's

[loes2911]

Hello, I've receiving these very weird 404's that seem to be crawled by Moz. I contacted rankmath first but they told me to turn to you. So how are the url's crawled? Because these seemed to be 'glued' together. They start with myurl.nl/PAGE/NUMBER/myurl.nl again. These are two existing pages that are now stuck together and are causing 404's. Please help

These “glued” 404 URLs likely result from malformed internal links or redirects. Moz's crawler may be picking up on these if a plugin or incorrect URL structure is causing two URLs to combine into one. Start by inspecting any internal links and redirects on your site, especially near the affected areas, as a misconfiguration could be causing this issue. If you’re using any plugins that dynamically generate URLs, check their settings to ensure they aren’t inadvertently creating these concatenated URLs. This should help prevent future 404s.

Hi everyone,

Our web design company, also uses Moz, and also Screaming Frog to find broken links, causing 404 page errors.

Are the 404s appearing also in your companies GSC account? have your web designers deleted many pages recently?

@loes2911
The 404 errors you're seeing likely result from malformed URLs being crawled by Moz, where two URLs are combined incorrectly. Here’s how to address it:

Check Your Links: Review your site's internal links and sitemap for any improper URL structures.

Canonical Tags: Ensure each page has a proper canonical tag to prevent merging.

Redirects: Look into your redirect settings to confirm there are no misconfigurations.

Crawl Settings: Update your robots.txt file to manage how crawlers like Moz access your site.

I was facing the same issue on my site vnapp and solved it by following these steps.

If the issue persists, reach out to Moz for additional support.

@loes2911
The 404 errors you're encountering may be due to malformed URLs being crawled by Moz. These URLs seem to merge two existing pages, leading to invalid links.

Here are a few quick steps

Check Sitemap and Links: Review your sitemap and internal links for any errors.

Canonical Tags: Ensure canonical URLs are correctly set on each page to prevent confusion.

Redirects: Investigate any misconfigured redirects in your .htaccess or server settings.

Robots.txt: Adjust your robots.txt to block invalid URLs.
If the issue continues, contact Moz for further guidance.
