One of the sites I work on had 262 404 errors in early December, I recreated the sitemap submitted and the 404s then were 130. Now I have again recreated and submitted the sitemap and the 404 count is 130. I am unable to understand why submitting a completely new sitemap and removing old ones is still causing 404s. Why are 404s showing?
New sitemap submitted still large number of 404s showing
