According to the WI there are broken links on the site. You ought to be able to go to the site and click on all links on the site and have them work. If every link on the site works, you may need to go to a computer without the SD software on it and connected online to the site and see if all of the links work in that situation. If you find some links that do not work they ought to coincide with the identified links from WI. Then proceed fixing the links to rid of the error report from WI. You ought to be able to type in url's into google and have them give status with google on those url's. You need to do that with the error listed ones from WI. A broken link code, when clicking on the link it will not work, so if the WI report is correct there will be links on the site that are broken. If there are no broken links on the site then you ought to be able to go to the code on the site and delete those url's from the source code.

No service detects these links except WI


Every service that web Developers/Designer use to help with even basic website errors those pages and reports those errors and others SEMRUSH, AHREFS, Neil Pattel's consultancy, fiver, SEO-reports etc etc to name but a few others.
The errors are there because an index.html page isn't there, because it has been given a 301 permanent move directive which makes it 'NON INDEXABLE"

The https://psydopomoga.com/ru/index.html has also been given a 301 permanent move making that one non-indexable too

So of course Google says it's not in their index library, which doesn't mean to say that it isn't a problem for search engines, but then of course that all depends on how important for your client it is to get good and consistent search engine ranking positions on their results pages.


Wayan, to avoid any arguments, I followed your advice and replaced every occurrence of `index.html` within the website's body. Now, the entire code does not contain the term `index.html` anywhere. Let's consider this a "radiation experiment" to see if anything changes.

As evidence, the website owner, who mentioned that someone already reached out to her through the site, supports this decision. The site is less than two months old, and the person who contacted her is a Ukrainian living in Austria. I verified this in Google Analytics, and everything matched. I have no reason to doubt the site owner, and I’m confident she has no reason to mislead me. This indicates the website is functioning well and is discoverable as intended. Despite its minimal traffic, it already has one client.

This website is my gift to a Ukrainian refugee now living in my country. Web design is my hobby, not my source of income. I create websites for my enjoyment; it’s something I genuinely love to do. Given all this, I think there’s no doubt that neither she nor I have any reason to lie. We’re both simply living our own truths.

Hello Greb! I just launched WI again and it still shows two links with .htm instead of .html. But this is not in the site code, at least I did not find it, and it is also not in the Google index.

I don't recall ever suggesting that you REMOVE all instances of index.html, even if there were any.

Check This out Its W3C schools link checker

https://validator.w3.org/checklink?uri=https%3A%2F%2Fpsydopomoga.com%2F&hide_type=all&depth=&check=Check


when it's done make sure you scroll right down to the bottom of the results report, as you scroll you will notice that the LINK ERRORS are even given a line number so you can easily identify the ones you should be trying to fix.

Then go to
https://validator.w3.org/nu/?showsource … oga.com%2F

That will show you the HTML errors, and the code with line numbers, (so you can idenftify where the broken links are (using the previous report line numbers as reference.

And finally those errors WI show of course don't stop the website from working (except if anyone lands on a 404 page not found) the point is about the errors (whichever service you use) is that they are suggesting solutions to HELP THE WEBSITE function better, more efficiently, and provide a better visitors experiwnce.
