If the link is in the Google index and appears in the SERPs, visitors will get a 404 error if they click on it.

Eventually Google will remove this from the index but you would be surprised to find how many missing pages and expired domains still appear in the SERPs.

On Google side - the missing pages will be indexed for sometime, till then, if any visitor clicks on that indexed link - he will see a 404 error - but u can redirect all 404 pages to your homepage.

If u want Google to re-index quickly, then u can generate a new site map, submit it to GSC. Also can use redirection.

Yes. Until Google updates the index. For popular busy keywords this happens quickly.

If the url does not exist on your site users will get a 404 page not found error.

There are WP plugins that redirect 404 errors to another page or the home page. Or you can do it yourself with a 301 redirect.

gee I think hard for me to revamp current site due to many post and images.
guess this new project better do on a brand new site when I got time

actually I happen to see one plugin good to use kinda can intergrate to my present site but need to remove all exsiitng contents and images,

literally is I still keep my categories but is different way to present the content ,

how to revamp a site?
