π ️ Common Crawl Errors in Google Search Console
Fixing SEO Issues Like a Pro! π¨π»π
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. π¬
Let’s dive into the most common crawl errors and how to fix them! π‘
π§ 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. π
π Top Common Crawl Errors
1️⃣ 404 Not Found
π Happens when a page no longer exists or has been moved.
π§ Fix: Redirect the broken URL using a 301 redirect or update/remove internal links pointing to it.
2️⃣ Server Errors (5xx)
π₯ These occur when the server fails to load the page due to overload or misconfiguration.
π§ Fix: Check server logs, consult hosting provider, or upgrade hosting if needed.
3️⃣ Soft 404
π Google sees a page that looks like a 404 (empty, no content) but it returns a 200 OK status.
π§ Fix: Add real content to the page or set it to return an actual 404 status.
4️⃣ Redirect Errors
π Problems like too many redirects, broken redirect chains, or loops.
π§ Fix: Use a redirect checker tool and ensure redirects are simple and direct.
5️⃣ Blocked by robots.txt
π« You’ve accidentally blocked pages from being crawled.
π§ Fix: Edit your robots.txt file to allow necessary pages to be crawled.
6️⃣ Access Denied (403)
π Googlebot is not authorized to access the page.
π§ Fix: Check permissions or firewall rules blocking Googlebot.
7️⃣ DNS Errors
π Google can’t communicate with your domain’s DNS server.
π§ Fix: Make sure your domain and DNS are configured correctly.
