      Please look at my website, 404 Pages suddenly increasing in number.

      I have looked at the google webmaster tool and found it showing all my URLs in wrong format.

      This page is also not working

      I attached webmaster screenshot as well

        Sitemap looks fine. Click on the urls in GSC and see the referring links. That would give you some more insight.

          Hi Michael!

          As you know, soft 404s can negatively impact the traffic to your website. I found a blog that could be helpful for you! It thoroughly discusses what a soft 404 is, how it impacts your website, and most importantly, how to get rid of them on your website. Read that blog here: https://www.hallaminternet.com/what-are-soft-404-errors-will-they-affect-rankings/

          Hope this helps - if not let me know and I would love to help you figure this out!

          • Hi! I'm wondering whether for keyword SEO - a url should be www.salshoes.com/shoes/mens/day-wear (so with a few parent categories) or www.salshoes.com/shoes-mens-day-wear is ok for on page optimization?
