Cookies disabled pointing to a 404 page

[Taysir]

Hi mozzers,

I am running an audit and disabled cookies on our homepage for testing purposes, this pointed to a 404 http response? I tried on other pages and they were loading correctly.

I assume this is not normal? Why this is happening?  and could this harm the site's SEO?

Thanks!

Well... Well, that could be many things. Assuming it's WordPress, I would clear your program reserve for 1 thing. Then, at that point, I would check whether recovering the PermaLinks fixes it.

Assuming you're not basically keeping crawlers from creeping your site with 404 not found, It is improbable you will experience any SEO issues. In any case, I would you unquestionably need to fix this mistake and know the reason.

Simply go down an agenda or two till you find and pinpoint the issue. That is assuming it isn't the program or the permalinks which is the thing that it is a decent larger part of the time

Hello there,

I would always check with more than my own browser to make sure it wasn’t only happen for myself. You can try to use the curl tools from keycdn, or ultimately you can also check with google itself by using the “fetch with google” tool in your Search Console.

If the problem presist you should check if there is any script on your site could potentially cause the issue.

Hope this helps,

Hmmm... Well that could definitely be a lot of different things. If it's WordPress, I would clear your browser cache for 1 thing. Then I would see if regenerating the PermaLinks fixes it.

If you're not essentially preventing crawlers from crawling your site with 404 not founds, It is unlikely you will encounter any SEO issues. However, I would you certainly want to fix this error and know the cause.

Just go down a checklist or two till you find and pinpoint the problem. That is if it isn't the browser or the permalinks which is what it is a good majority of the time
