I'm struggling to understand (and fix) why I'm getting a 404 error. The URL includes this "%5Bnull%20id=43484%5D" but I cannot find that anywhere in the referring URL. Does anyone know why please? Thanks
Thanks for replying, however I’m still unsure how to fix it. Are you able to offer a bit of guidance on this please? Thanks

Should we use Cloudflare
Hi Great question. Google stopped looking at IP address about two years ago. I am sure that there IP wasn’t that factor for SEO unless they where on a PBN or it was over two years ago. Many very large sites use CloudFlare or something else like it I personally would recommend Fastly if you want something that with shrink images & work like CloudFlare but do the things that only CloudFlare Enterprise a $5,000 a month offering can do. I don’t know you’re server config but I know time after time Fastly has been much faster then CloudFlare https://www.fastly.com/ https://www.CloudFlare.com Lastly I do want to CloudFlare has gotten a bad name because they do not regulate who or what content is allowed on there platform booters use them to attack & to prevent DDOS attacks. With a platform that this has lead to there IPs being listed as spam so I have seen a case when I used. 9.9.9.9 or IBMQuad9 as reclusive DNS where I could not see a CloudFlare site because one ip was listed as spam & 9.9.9.9 just shows a 500 error it was fixed when I changed my local DNS to a dns system that didn’t block spam IPs. this also only happened once so it is very unlikely to happen to you. https://www.fastly.com/ https://www.CloudFlare.com Change in IP, or possible sharing of Its with PBNs / bad Neighborhood’s, can really hit search rankings but it is very unlikely that google will think that is your domain if the IP is dynamic like CloudFlare . it not going to hurt you because google looks at domains not IPs now. but this is not something I would worry about from CloudFlare it cleans IPs so if you get one you will have a new one sooner if you tell them also the business & Enterprise plans are much cleaner the the free plan this is just one more reason https://www.fastly.com/ But the short answer is yes it’s safe to use. do you mind telling me what you’re hosting setup is now & who you host with? Hope I have been of help, Tom

Text to code ratio<10% warning from website audit by SiteChecker.Pro - how important is it?
Hi! This is a metric I would care less about, it's not something that is good or bad. It's just something that could happen. For example, look at this Q&A page, I bet that 98% of the HTML on this page is templated and only the questions and answers are obviously different. Is that bad? No, it's certainly not. There are likely many other factors in SEO to worry about more. Use the overall rule that you always want to add more content to your pages, but in itself, I wouldn't worry about code <> text ratio as something to improve. Martijn.

Should I canonicalize URLs with no query params even though query params are always automatically appended?
This is VERY helpful, thank you so much.

Canonical or hreflang?
I feel like my question isn't being understood here. I understand the difference between the two and if the sites were for example English and Spanish I would get which to use, but the hreflang tag sub-divides languages into individual regional variants, in my case en-GB, en-IE, en-AU and en-NZ. So, my question is which to use when the "base" language is the same, so in all essence, the article is basically identical, with the odd regional spelling variation, e.g. colour and color, tossed in?

Dropdown content on page being crawled
if you’re talking about and accordions or something similar it will be treated just like every other piece of content on the page this is because Google is so committed to Mobile first. As well as Google‘s commitment to index almost all JavaScript https://www.searchenginejournal.com/googles-mueller-on-myth-of-hidden-tab-content/358724/ i’ hope this helps. Tom

301 Redirects - Clearing out a 300 Page WordPress Website (HELP)
Try removing those pages which are not ranking and getting any traffic with proper redirect. I was also in the same situation on my website. i had different post with thin content then i deleted all of them and merged them to one like Ayushman Bharat Yojana from multiple sub articles. and redirecting with 301. It doesn't give me a drop but ranking grow significantly.

What tool do you use to check for URLs not indexed?
I generally just use Xenu's hyperlink sleuth (if you thousands of pages) to listing out all the URLs you have got and I might then manually take a look at them, however, see the guitar in demand I have not come upon an automatic device yet. If all people are aware of any, I'd like to recognize as properly.
