OK Thanks,

I don’t get it about the dashbord, but well…

Regards

Hi,

I’ve updated the plugin, but unfotunately, it’s getting worse :
– It now “finds” pages that does not exist (these URL return 404). This was not the case before

This a side effects of “exclusions” which are not excluded anyway. When everything is chosen, WILO finds 44 pages. When I exclude everything except posts and pages, it finds 256 pages… Edit : seems OK after cache purge.

– It now counts broken links for 301 redirects which was not the case before. The page has then a bad score while this is not a broken at all (im my case, LSCache redirects original images to better compressed one in .webp format)

Remaining bugs :
– I still think we should have an option to ignore “NoIndex” URL
– Intenal or external URL which have upper case characters in their path return false 404 errors
– External URL which have a popup cookies consent return false 403/405 errors
– The following external URL return false 500, https://www.astrium.com/espace-medecins/risques-et-situations/vaccins-par-pays.html, but you can verify this is not the case here : https://httpstatus.io/
– External links are still not called with exact protocol in URL (https or http) and are called with ‘http’ by default thus getting 301 retrun code…(while https IS specified in my URL)

Tell me if I can help.

Regards

Hi,

Meanwhile, I solved the duplicate links detection in my Homepage.
It was due to some specific function from my content builder of my theme.

I’m interested to kow if you think you can address other issues :
– Case sensitiveness
– URL crawling with scheme written in URL
– Avoid crawling “NoIndex” tagged pages.

Regards.

Hi,

OK. As for case sensitive characters, I can apply corrections on my own content. But there is nothing I can do for external links. And upper case characters are authorized in URL/URI by official RFC.

In this state, your plugin is not compliant with W3C rules/RFC, and though returns false 404 errors.

As for redirections, I did not correctly explained the bug. My link, refers to HTTPS URL, but it seems the plugin only takes the path without the scheme and do its request with HTTP scheme, though the redirection code…. You must test the exact URL with the written scheme…

Finally one mysterious bug remains : links seens as twice in the homepage body ???. Here s the URL if you want to check HTML code : https://jerevedevoyages.com

One thing you should consider too : not scanning URL marked as “NoIndex”. Indeed they count in total score but there is less interest in making internal links to theses pages.

Hope you will be able to adress these issues soon because your plugin is good.

Regards

Hi there,

Can I have a feedback please ?

Regards.

Another problem.

HTTP response codes are not correctly evaluated. For instance a 308 status code is seen as a 404 error. Which is not correct. I think this is because HTTP scheme is not taken in account. In the exemple below HTTP returns 308 (seen as 404) but HTTPS returns 200

Example of external link seen as 404 error while only have a redirected status : https://www.vidal.fr/medicaments/gammes/mercalm-6044.html

Hi,

I will first try to understand for the homepage where links are seen twice. I can’t give you admin access. But I can follow any scenario you would like to analyze

Meanwhile, can you sort out the case sensitive thing ? your plugin always converts URL to lowercase, so it finds false 404 errors. Bur URIs can have uppercase letters in their full path.

Regards.

Hi,

Well not that easy.
What’s wrong with GT-Memory Theme ?
