How do you handle 404 errors? My 404s list never stops growing!

[ad_1]

Hello dear friends,

Initially I restructured the permalinks on my blog to remove categories and tags and only include postnames. Expectedly, it generated lots of 404s and I used the redirection plugin to keep a track and redirect them in bulk by removing categories/tags from source urls and having them redirect to the correct destinations.

All neat so far.

However, now this thing just doesn't stop. It's like I'm trying to swat flies in a sea of flies, the more I do, the more flies are born or something.

How do i deal with random 404s in my redirection plugin like these – /?author=1, /.well-known/related-website-set.json, /wp-content/cache/wpfc-minified/4yzlzrb/wpstg-admin-all-pages.min.js.map

I am not even sure how do I redirect them correctly because I don't know what these pages are in the first place.

How do you guys deal with this?

P.S. I have severe OCD and I have a dream to see my 404s tab in the redirection plugin all clean some day! Sigh!
