Google Search Console - Loosing The Faith With

HI from freezing Leeds UK…
Loosing faith with Googles’ Search Consoles Crawl Error reports (See below screen grab)

In the “Smartphone” report it spots a huge number of broken links / 404 Errors. But here’s my problem. Below is a specif example of a 404 error page with a list of pages linking to it but… whenever you try to verify any of the but links i find nothing :frowning:

Specifically if i go to page:
https://www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk/gifts i just cant find the link pointing to
https://www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk/contract-mobile-phones/apple-iphone-se (I use Chrome Dev Tools - https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/ )

So is the Google search console’s crawl error report pretty useless when it comes to accurately reporting real time 404 error pages?

Thanks in advance,
David

I’ve found it pretty bad wiht one of my sites recently, I’ve uploaded a new project and get 404’s or “problems wiht the sitemap” that exists and is perfectly readable. I think they are focusing on the ‘new’ interface and the old one is just falling apart.

Thank you :slight_smile:
