404 Error Log

Log 404 hits with referrers and counts to guide redirects and content fixes.

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.
