Nuxt 3.15.4 SSR Application - Soft 404's in Google Search Console
Hello,
We're experiencing a surge of Soft 404's in Google Search Console on our Nuxt 3.15.4 SSR application.
Here's what we know;
- Live tests on GSC all seem to pass on any given 'Soft 404' page.
- We're getting 200's on all pages except for redirects, those give a 301, as they should.
- Some pages seem to index in Google but they might fall back to Soft 404 a couple days later.
Unfortunate events;
- We've updated from Nuxt 3.9.3 to 3.15.4 recently, with those some dependencies were updated aswell, such as
- A faulty deploy was done and the Sitemap absolute path changed after the Nuxt update (and modules)
What we have done;
- We've disabled modulePreloads through this thread; https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/issues/14584#issuecomment-2166544081
- We've resolved hydration mismatch errors we we're getting in production
- We've resolved all issues considering the sitemap
Does anyone else experience this? (Also after 6th of December since the last core update from Google Search). What did you do to fix it?
Thanks in advance for your time.
