Yannick,

Your credentials should still allow you to log into my site:

I was curious in that in the Recorded Errors section of 4SEO there are a lot of images that are in 404 status. At one time I used a scraper of sorts to bring news articles to the site, but that has been gone and deleted ages ago, but I see quite few images from that system in the list "images/obgrabber/2018-05/80079f2e9d.jpeg" for example. Anything in the obgrabber directory shouldn't be referenced on my site, is this from other sites referencing my site? Same would go for stuff referencing Phoca Gallery, haven't used it for some time: "images/phocagallery/interior/thumbs/phoca_thumb_l_int33.jpg"

Could be all of this would go away once I removed Jsitemap Pro as it has been on my sites for ages and maybe it has caused this, I will get around to removing it soon.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Best regards,

Russell Thomas

These errors are not from your site. They are 404 errors caused by others making requests to your site, so you have no control on which page or image is requested.

For instance if you delete an article and it's now a 404 but Google has previously indexed it, they will come back regularly for at least a year, sometimes more, to check if the 404 was real or just a temporary glitch. Same for images that were once on the site and may have been removed long ago.

Nothing to worry about, except if you see there:

- 404s that should not be 404s, eg, the sign that something is broken on your site (but in most cases these will show as Broken links not recorded errors)

- 404s for pages that you have replaced with another one, meaning you did not do a redirect to the new page.

For all pages or images that are indeed gone, there's nothing to do, a 404 is appropriate.

Best regards
