How to fix: Pages returning 4XX status code

What’s the issue?

4xx errors mean some of your pages can’t be accessed, often because of broken links. This hurts your site’s user experience and search visibility.

Common Fixes:

  • Remove or update any links leading to error pages.
  • If you’re sure the links work, ask your web host for help or reduce how often search engines crawl your site using the crawl-delay setting in your robots.txt.

Tip: Broken pages can lower your site’s traffic and make it hard for search engines to navigate.
