Why is Google indexing my 404 pages, and how do I fix it?
marcustaylor published thread Why is Google indexing my 404 pages, and how do I fix it?Hey everyone,
I noticed that Google is indexing several of my 404 error pages, even though they shouldn’t exist. These pages appear in search results, which is confusing for users and bad for SEO. I’ve checked my sitemap, and these URLs aren’t there. I also use proper 404 headers, but they still show up.
Why is this happening, and how can I stop Google from indexing these pages? Should I use 410 instead of 404, or is there another fix?
