Topic: Request returning 404/410 response when media file does not exist

Hello,

I tested our site www.pn2k.org on Pingdom and GTMetrix. For both, results returned the exact following:

Avoid bad requests
The following requests are returning 404/410 responses. Either fix the broken links, or remove the references to the non-existent resources.
https://www.pn2k.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/bg3.jpg

The file in question (bg3.jpg) has been already been deleted. Any pages that are linked to this image also shows a “page does not exist” result, so neither the image or page associated with that JPG exists. I also went ahead and deleted the original blog that might be affected (the only blog published in Mar 2015 which is https://www.pn2k.org/meet-popo-the-tanuki/) and added back the content. I also deleted any of the original images and uploaded them again after taking screenshots. Still, the same result for “avoiding bad requests.”

Please advise on how to resolve this problem.

Thank you for your time!

    Hi PN2K,

    When this sort of error comes up, please try clearing your page cache plugin as it’s possible old pages are still referencing it.
