Understanding and Resolving 404 URL Not Found Errors

A 404 - URL Not Found error occurs when RapidLoad attempts to optimize a URL that is no longer accessible. Here’s a detailed explanation and steps to resolve this issue:

Cause of the Error

RapidLoad adds URLs to its optimization queue based on user visits. When a user visits a URL, it gets added to RapidLoad for optimization. However, if the URL is later removed or becomes inaccessible, RapidLoad will display a 404 error when it tries to crawl and optimize that URL.

Steps to Resolve the Error

Update or Remove Obsolete URLs: If the URL is no longer needed or has been permanently removed, ensure that it is not linked from any part of your site. Update any links pointing to obsolete URLs to avoid user visits and subsequent 404 errors.
