      Hey,

      I'm getting a soft 404 error on a webpage that has content and is deferentially not a 404.

      We've redirect a load of urls to the web page. The url has parameters which was used before the redirect but are no longer used on by the new url, these parameters have been carried over in the redirect.

      Is this whats causing the soft 404 error or is there another problem that may need addressing?

      Also a canonical has been set on the webpage.

      Thanks, Luke.

        Hi Luke,

        I think I'm going to need a little more information to fully understand your question. Could you give us the URL in question?

        Best,

        Kristina
