Notes about certain types of issues:
- Excluded by ‘noindex’ tag - This may not be an issue as it is set this way on purpose on the quote and checkout pages.
- Not found (404) - 404 issues can come from items or pages being deleted from your website. We also monitor for broken links under settings > WordPress page under broken links. If desired, you can redirect these broken links to a new page using a WP plugin such as Rank Math or Redirections.
