: Google search console is reporting site errors where the "linking page" has never linked to that ever There are many annoying Site Errors when I'm checking my Search Console at "Crawl > Crawl
There are many annoying Site Errors when I'm checking my Search Console at "Crawl > Crawl Errors". Here is a screenshot:
Those links are totally made up and I am never including them in my sitemap, nor linking from other pages.
How can I fix them? How can I tell Google to stop wasting time with them?
Thanks!
update1:
When I clicked the URLs for more details (to see what pages are linking to them), I saw normal/valid pages but I can't find the (listed broken) links on them in the source code (even with all JavaScript executed). And I had never put those broken links on them ever in my previous versions.
Update2:
All of these are happening after I switched from HTTP to HTTPS in late Sep. But I am sure I've handled everything well.
Update3:
I just checked my http property (which I haven't checked for months) and noticed that there were also errors before the switching. So it's not about the HTTP > HTTPS change.

Googlebot reads your source code trying to find URLs that it may miss by looking just at the rendered page. For example, Googlebot will read strings in JavaScript on your page, and may interpret strings as URLs, attempting to crawl them.
$%7Bquiz.s%7D/en/ is likely from ${quiz.s}/fr/, which looks like ES6 template literals holding a placeholder of quiz.s, such as f`${quiz.s}/fr/`. It seems Googlebot is interpreting this as a potential URL, crawling it, and when it returns 404, adding it to the errors list.
There's nothing you need to do here if you recognise the JavaScript. Note that the JavaScript doesn't have to be on the page or even end up on the page — if it executes because of the page Googlebot will still generally find it. If not it could be an indication of a hacked site.
