Google Fetch Like Google Errors
Not Found: Source not found (404 or 410 HTTP response codes). This error indicates that when you access your page using a web browser, you will see the HTTP 404 error code.
Not Authorized: Googlebot does not have permission to access the page (for example, if the page requires a password). This error indicates that when you access your page using a web browser, you will see the HTTP 403 error code.
DNS not found: Google could not obtain the source because the domain name could not be found. Make sure that you have written your domain name correctly so that Google can find your site server (e.g., www.bertanuzun.com).
Blocked: The source’s host machine blocks access to Googlebot by using a robots.txt file. Blocked resources may affect how Google understands the page and the page’s ranking for certain queries. Blocked resources have an estimated level called a Priority Level that indicates how important the source is for Google’s understanding of the page: Low Missing content has little effect on rendering the page. Medium Missing content has some effect on rendering the page. Determine whether the deficiencies or differences, when you inspect the fetched page compared to the real page, are at a level that could affect Google’s understanding of the page. High Missing content significantly affects rendering and most likely changes how Google adds your page to the index. — (Double hyphen) The error is not related to a blocked resource. You can fix this error by updating your robots.txt file.
Robots.txt not accessible: Googlebot cannot access the host machine’s robots.txt file for the source. In this case, Google does not load any resources from that host machine. To resolve this issue, read our Help Center articles prepared about how robots.txt files are created and tested.
