Hi all,

have attached a few 404 errors I found in the Google Search Console from our Shopify website.

Any ideas on how to deal with below errors?

Hi @VD10 ,

You can generally IGNORE these 404 errors if the URLs are not actual pages on your Shopify store. However, it’s best to verify why they are appearing in your Google Search Console (GSC) under “Not Found (404)” errors. Here’s what you should check:

**Why Are These URLs Showing as 404s?**1. Incorrect or Broken External Links

  • If external websites are linking to these non-existent URLs, Googlebot may be trying to crawl them.
  • You can check this using the “Inspect URL” tool in Google Search Console.

  1. Leftover URLs from Old Pages or Apps

    • If these URLs existed previously (e.g., from a removed Shopify app or old site structure), they might still be indexed.

  2. Theme or Sitemap Issues

    • Sometimes, Shopify themes or third-party apps generate incorrect URLs.
    • Check your sitemap.xml to see if these URLs are mistakenly included.

  3. Dynamic URL Errors

    • The ${t} in one of the URLs suggests it might be a template placeholder or broken JavaScript variable in your theme code.

Hope my solution will help you resolve the issue.Best regards,
