Helpdesk is open from Monday through Friday CET
Hello,
I am loving learning more about 4SEO and it's very significant capacity - thanks.
1. Can I ask what is the best way to think, about/address recorded 404 errors that come from a K2 image cache, please?
2. Can this be an excluded feature during a scan?
Kind regards
Drew
Hi
Many thanks for your kind words! There are still many things to do for 4SEO, many improvements to come this year! Once we get 4SEF out of the door, 4SEO will also get a big 2.0 release!
2. Can this be an excluded feature during a scan?
This is not part of any scan. Errors listed under Errors | Recorded errors happened on your site. With people or bots requesting these pages or images, or images inside a page, so these are not under your control or 4SEO's control.
4SEO already filters out many of these requests to avoid cluttering the list but indeed for these requests, I don't have a filter or settings to exclude some. I think I have that in the feature tracker already, just haven't come around to it yet.
1. Can I ask what is the best way to think, about/address recorded 404 errors that come from a K2 image cache, please?
In that particular case, I would think some bots are trying to check on pages and images that either have been removed or that K2 renamed for some reason.
So as with all 404 errors:
- if these images have just been removed, or the page that contains them has been removed, then there's absolutely nothing to do, getting a 404 is expected, and the desired way to go about them
- if these images have been replaced by some other, then a redirect from old to new would be good. However, for these images where K2 encode the names, doing such redirects will be an enormous amount of work, will slow down the site if you do that for several hundreds or thousands of images and will not yield any measurable SEO benefit in my opinion.
In other words: try to understand why you have them. Fix the problem if it's a mistake, or else and most likely: do nothing.
