      Hi,

      My client recently undertook a site migration. Since the new site's gone live GWT has highlighted over 2000 not found errors. These were fixed nearly 2 weeks ago and they're still being listed in GWT.

      Do I have to wait for Google to re-crawl the page before they're removed from the list? Or do I need to go through the list, individually check them and mark them as fixed?

      Any help would be appreciated.

      Thanks

        Hi!

        It probably shows up because other links are still pointing to those urls. If they are now properly redirected then you can just mark them as fixed.

            You definitely need to mark them as fixed in order to remove them. If anything wasn't fixed properly then Google will show them as a 404 again.

            • My site was hacked and spammy URLs were injected that pointed out. The issue was fixed, but GWT is still reporting more of these links.
