πŸ› ️ Common Crawl Errors in Google Search Console

Fixing SEO Issues Like a Pro! πŸ‘¨‍πŸ’»πŸ”

Want to rank high on Google? ✅

Then keeping your website error-free is a must! Google Search Console helps you spot crawl errors that can block search engines from accessing your site—and hurt your SEO. 😬

Let’s dive into the most common crawl errors and how to fix them! πŸ’‘


🚧 What Are Crawl Errors?

Crawl errors occur when Googlebot (Google’s crawler) tries to reach a page on your site but fails. This can impact how your site ranks or even if it shows up in search results at all! ⚠️


You can view these errors under the “Pages” report in Google Search Console. πŸ“Š


πŸ” Top Common Crawl Errors

1️⃣ 404 Not Found

πŸ“‰ Happens when a page no longer exists or has been moved.

πŸ”§ Fix: Redirect the broken URL using a 301 redirect or update/remove internal links pointing to it.


2️⃣ Server Errors (5xx)

πŸ’₯ These occur when the server fails to load the page due to overload or misconfiguration.

πŸ”§ Fix: Check server logs, consult hosting provider, or upgrade hosting if needed.


3️⃣ Soft 404

πŸŒ€ Google sees a page that looks like a 404 (empty, no content) but it returns a 200 OK status.

πŸ”§ Fix: Add real content to the page or set it to return an actual 404 status.


4️⃣ Redirect Errors

πŸ” Problems like too many redirects, broken redirect chains, or loops.

πŸ”§ Fix: Use a redirect checker tool and ensure redirects are simple and direct.


5️⃣ Blocked by robots.txt

🚫 You’ve accidentally blocked pages from being crawled.

πŸ”§ Fix: Edit your robots.txt file to allow necessary pages to be crawled.


6️⃣ Access Denied (403)

πŸ” Googlebot is not authorized to access the page.

πŸ”§ Fix: Check permissions or firewall rules blocking Googlebot.


7️⃣ DNS Errors

🌐 Google can’t communicate with your domain’s DNS server.

πŸ”§ Fix: Make sure your domain and DNS are configured correctly.
