    Hi Sybre,

    Thank you for the plugin! I was checking for errors on the site and in moz.com, I see 404 errors as in the screenshot. https://snipboard.io/IJbtWT.jpg

    /contact and /collection are pages on the site. I don’t understand why /contact/sitemap.xml and /collection/sitemap.xml are being crawled or if they are valid urls and why there are 404s on them? These 2 urls don’t seem valid and I’m not sure if there’s something wrong with my settings. Could you please with this?

    Best

    Hello!

    In the footer of your pages, you have a non-fully-qualified hyperlink that leads to “sitemap.xml”. This means that that URL gets appended to any page your website displays, and Moz will try to crawl it.

    You have put the link in the first Genesis Footer widget area, inside a custom HTML widget. I recommend making it a fully-qualified URL or otherwise delete it.
