Hi,
we are facing a crawl issue:

Incorrect image URLs are being crawled by Google which is leading to 404s.

Google picks up – domain.com/image-name as the URL which of course is a 404. Instead, it should be domain.com/article-url/image-name

For instance –
Google crawls:

https://www.techuntold.com/app-like-video-star-vizmato/

Actual Image URL:

https://www.techuntold.com/apps-like-video-star/app-like-video-star-vizmato/ which properly redirects to the image attachment using the setting inside the Yoast SEO plugin.

Please let us know why Google crawls this incorrect URL and way to avoid that.

We suspect that it might be due to a theme or plugin file. Your feedback is appreciated.

Also, check the attachment.

Thanks,
Hemant

Hello Hemant,

Please notice that we do not have any bad reports until now, sorry! It seems to be a problem on your website, regarding this case! Did you have made some additional customizations or something like this? It seems that the Google does not correctly index that post and the image. You should check the following guide because might be useful for you -> https://lakewood.media/how-to-fix-webmaster-console-crawl-errors-in-wordpress/

Thanks for your understanding!
