I see many requests in my analytics for pages that don’t exist, examples:
- URL has null character at the end (assuming a bug in a client/browser somewhere)
- URL is missing final character(s) (copy and paste error)
- URL has added text such as time (copy and paste error)
I’m looking to provide a better experience for my viewers and reduce the number of these error pages.
Is there a way partial URLs could be resolved?
For example, a valid URL path:
- /2023/08/22/this-is-an-example
And invalid examples would be:
- /2023/08/22/this-is-an-exampl
- /2023/08/22/this-is-an-example[null]
- /2023/08/22/this-is-an-example22:14
Can we resolve to the closest match? Or use the date to match the correct post?
Normally I would do this sort of thing via server config so not sure how to proceed.
