  False positive 404s by Screaming Frog

  Posted by Rough_Construction39 on September 21, 2024 at 2:57 pm

  Screaming Frog shows some 404s when I use SF SEO spider but doesn't show the 404s when using Googlebot (Smartphone) spider. The URLs work when checked manually. Any idea why this happens?

  I mean I know I shouldn't worry because the URLs work but the client wants a clean report.

  You sure they are 404s and not 403s? That would be logical in this case if a firewall blocks that user agent
