How to find and fix 404 and 500 errors

The pages your visitors open with an error, and how they got there, so you can fix the cause and not just the symptom.

Documentation menu

The report

Errors report with errors per day and URLs

Errors, URLs with errors, affected sessions and % of pageviews with errors.
Chart per day and per code: 4xx (not found, gone…) in orange and 5xx (server errors) in red. Click a code to see only that one.
By URL: times, sessions and last time; or Recent, one by one.

Find the broken link

Open a URL to see where visitors came from:

A page of your own website: a broken internal link (highlighted). Fix the link on that page.
Another website: someone links to a page that doesn’t exist. Create a redirect to the right page.
A reload or direct traffic: an old bookmark or a mistyped address.

Fix them

Deleted or moved content: a 301 redirect to the closest page.
Images and files: upload them again or fix the path in your template.
500 errors: check your server or plugin logs at the times shown.

Turn the detection on or off in Settings → General. Errors can be exported as CSV.
