TOPIC: 404 article got 800 hits in a few hours!

404 article got 800 hits in a few hours! 14 years, 8 months ago #11797

First of all, thanks for a great component. After a few days a testing, I installed it on my production server last night. Everything seems to be working fine and I haven't encountered a single broken URL. All old non-sef URL's are correctly redirected to new SEF url's. But there was an article which I assume was created by this component with the "404- Not Found" text which has recieved over 800 hits since morning and the number is increasing rapidly!

Any thoughts on whether i should be worried about this?

Ok, I think I know what is wrong here.

Each time we hit an old URL there is a 404 page not found error, which is correct as the old url doesn't exist. But the system actually does the trick and redirects the user to the new URL.

I guess this is how it is meant to work. Can anyone please confirm that?

Hello,

Yes, every time you hit some URL that is not in JoomSEF's database, it shows the 404 error page and counts the hit for it.
