Track Missing Webpages (Page Not Found)

Use Google Analytics 4 to monitor missing webpages (Page not Found) and search terms. These reports can be helpful when you’ve changed the link (URLs) of webpages or removed webpages.

Create Google Analytic Reports For Webpage Not Found

  1. In Reports, drill down to Pages and Screens under Engagement.
