We help detect 404 links and remove them by redirecting them to new destination URL.

  • Custom redirect: This helps redirect specific 404 pages to new URL

Why it matters?

A 404 link (page not found) is generally not good for SEO for several reasons:

  1. User experience: When visitors encounter a 404 page, it can lead to frustration and a poor user experience, which may cause them to leave your site

  2. Link equity: If other sites are linking to a page that returns a 404 error, you're losing potential link equity (or "link juice") that could benefit your site's overall SEO.

  3. Indexing issues: Too many 404 errors can signal to search engines that your site has quality or maintenance problems, potentially affecting your overall search rankings.

How does it work?
