Site Map cluttered with broken links

[Tom Young]

I just learned that my Site Map is cluttered with items that look like they were imported from QuickBooks by Synchro. These items are broken links.

Please let me know how to delete them.

Thanks,

Tom

Tom Young If the site is using the default Sitemap (SMAP) page then those items are in the store and if you do not want them to appear in the sitemap you can delete them from the store.

Note: It is recommended for SEO purposes to have those URL's redirected. Before deleting them I would suggest to redirect the URLs to a new location in the store. Here is more information on adding a redirect using the native URI management feature: https://docs.miva.com/how-to-guides/...ing-a-redirect

Thanks Nick.

None of the items shown in the screenshot were ever in the store unless they were somehow placed there by Synchro. Is it necessary to redirect them or can they for that reason simply be deleted?

Tom Young If the pages have no SEO value then you should be okay. But be aware you may see an increase in 404 pages within your Google Search Console.
