viger Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Hello, I have strange pages 404 without referrer saved by the pagenotfound module in the statistic section. They look like: domain.com/wordpress domain.com/xmlrpc.php?rsd domain.com/index.php?controller=404 domain.com/apple-app-site-association domain.com/.well-known/apple-app-site-association and various pages that link to existing products or categories but with the URL that start with domain.com/test/ This last word "test" change the link in 404. More, I never used, neither for testing, a directory called "test" for prestashop or other. Have you an idea about why I have this 404 pages? Do I have to worry about them?

selectshop.at Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 What is a referer ? Someone coming from a link to your page. Bad bots or bots searching for something on your server (sniffing behavior of bad bots) will form a link that does not exist on your page, landing in a 404 = not found. You don't need to take care on these links. What you should take an eye on, are spam-referer like semalt, ilove, etc.... Other links formed with yourdomain.com/whatelsenotexistent driving to 404 page is ok and well formed. Link for what is a referer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_referer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
