404 Error Log
Overview
404 Error Log (Track 404s) logs 404 errors to a database. When a visitor requests a URL that does not exist, the module records the URL, referrer, user agent, and timestamp. View logs in the admin to identify broken links, typos, and missing content. Export to CSV. Filter by date, URL, or count. Use the data to create redirects (e.g. via Redirect Manager) or fix broken links. Complements the 404 Redirect module: one redirects, one logs.
Site owners and SEOs who want to know which URLs are returning 404 so they can fix them, create redirects, or improve user experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long are logs kept?
Check module settings. Some modules allow configuring retention (e.g. 30 days). Default may vary.
Does this work with 404 Redirect?
Yes. 404 Redirect sends visitors to a custom page. Track 404s logs the original requested URL before or alongside the redirect. Use both for redirect + logging.
