Hello,

On wordpress redirection plugin in 404 errors section I am getting lots of weird URLs like the following:

ip.ws.126.net:443 (not my url website
http://www.gstatic.com:443 (not my url website)
/login?from=-NAN
/horde/imp/test.php
/wp-content/plugins/brizy/admin/site-settings.php
/wp-config.bak
/wp-config.php7
/lieats.php

And from user agents like the following:
Go-http-client/1.1
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/79.0.3945.59 Safari/537.36
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.14; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0

So my questions are the following:

1) How I can redirect this URLs ip.ws.126.net:443 and http://www.gstatic.com:443?

2) What are this 404 erros mean? Are software trying to hack my website? if so, I should redirect all this 404 errors to index? and how I prevent from this to happen?

3) What is the best SEO white hack recommendation for this 404 errors?

4) Should I just ignore them and let google take it like a soft 404 error?


Thanks!

Seems like you are using a nulled theme. If you are using a paid theme (which is rarely a chance this could happen to it) contact theme author.

People trying to find files that do not exist trying to hack sites, searching for vulnerable plugins etc... Just use a security plugin make sure you are covering those bases.

Hello,

First I am not using a nulled theme its a premium paid theme, second I really do not understand how you come to that conclusion from 404 errors that redirection plugin is showing, usually redirection shows this errors because users are trying to access those urls and are getting a 404 error.

Don't get offended, I understand that 404 is generated when someone tries to access a page which is not available.

But the URL's you are showing that you mentioned are not part of your website and possible its a injection in your theme or any of your plugin code.

Wordfence is good, but you need to make sure manually sometimes as well you can't rely on Softwares for everything.

I am not offended bro, I am just telling you that the theme I am using is not nulled, is a paid theme and this errors are happening even in free themes or other paid themes because I tested already so, believe me is not about the theme creating some type of injection in this case.

Yes I understand that I cannot rely only on softwares but, what I would like to know is what other webmasters that had this type of problem usually do to solve this issue.

Thanks!
