Google Search Console 404 Errors When Viewing Reports

gsc 404 errorsGoogle Search Console is having some issues this morning with 404s.  I noticed this earlier this morning and tweeted about it, but haven’t heard a response.

The 404 errors are not happening on every page load, but coming up every minute or two.  A refresh will usually load the full page correctly.  When it does go to a 404, it shows a very basic 404 page, not the usual custom Google 404 page we have seen before.

gsc 404Others are also noticing the same issue.

So it is definitely impacting multiple countries.

There is also a thread on the Google Webmaster Help forums.

It isn’t a major problem since a reload resolves it, but it is never a good sign when a service starts throwing 404s instead of loading the correct page and data.

Update: The problem has been fixed.
