Broken link

Topic summary

Main issue: A site audit flagged a recurring broken link to “/404page” (reported 165 times), originating from 404 Page and detected as https://autotrailer.co.nz/404page.

Latest update: A subsequent check with a broken-link tool shows no broken links. The URL https://autotrailer.co.nz/404page now returns a 301 redirect (permanent redirect) to the home page, suggesting the immediate broken-link problem has been fixed. Screenshots were shared to illustrate the tool results.

Additional findings: A crawl with Screaming Frog reported multiple SEO warnings/issues (e.g., title and meta-related concerns), indicating broader optimization opportunities beyond the fixed link.

Suggested actions:

  • Review and resolve the SEO warnings flagged by Screaming Frog (titles, meta data, and other issues).
  • Optionally evaluate the Yoast SEO app for Shopify (noted with a 14-day trial) to assist with optimization and rich results.

Status: The broken-link issue appears resolved. The discussion highlights remaining SEO improvements; no final resolution on those items yet.

Using a broken link checker, I am getting a single broken link identified that appears to be the same thing appearing 165 times when I do an audit that reports all occurrences of the dead link. Shows as a broken link out (https://autotrailer.co.nz/404page). When I look up the source of the broken link, it highlights the following line of code.
