Google Search Console Errors

Ever wondered about those pesky errors you come across while dealing with websites? You're not alone.

Sometimes, it's like trying to figure out where these errors even come from. It's like solving a puzzle where all the pieces have to fit just right. In this story, we'll help unravel the mystery behind these errors and make them a little less intimidating.

So, let's dive into this adventure and unravel the world of GSC errors!

Getting Started: My Childhood Dream

Remember when you were a kid and you had big dreams? Well, I dreamt of opening a library in a grand castle. Sounds fancy, right? But then reality kicked in. There were challenges, like figuring out how people would even get to my castle. After all, it's in a remote place and I kept adding things to it every year, like a moat. But that caused problems for the people who make maps.

Chapter 1: Weird Website Address Problems

Imagine my castle being like a hidden gem, not easy to find. But that's alright, people have maps. But what if the map is old and doesn't show my moat, or the writing on it has faded away?

That's what we call DNS errors (and no, it's not about dungeons or dangerous stuff). It's like when you ask for directions and someone gives you the wrong ones. Your computer asks a map (DNS server) to find a website, but sometimes it can't. It's like the map doesn't even know where the website is (that's the NXDOMAIN error), or the map's writing is messed up (kind of like FormErr).

These errors happen mostly because of settings on the map (DNS server). So, if you're not the map maker, you'll need to ask the people who made the map (your DNS provider) to fix it. And if you're not sure who that is, you can ask the people who host your website or where you got your website name from.

Sometimes, it could also be a problem on your side, like if you forgot your glasses and can't read the map. But usually, it's about the map itself.

Chapter 2: Internet Adventure Time

Imagine people finding the way to my castle library, but then they have to cross a wild river, go through dark dungeons, and maybe even face dragons.

That's what network errors are like. They're like obstacles on the way that stop you from reaching a website. It's like when you're driving and the road is blocked. Sometimes, it's an accident (like a major roadblock) or someone is deliberately stopping you (like a firewall).

Solving these issues is a bit like solving a mystery. You have to find out which thing on the way is causing the problem. But it's not easy, because there are lots of things on the way, and most of them aren't controlled by you or the website. But usually, it's either a firewall near the website or one of those internet traffic managers (CDNs). If you're not comfortable fixing this, you can ask the people who host your website or your CDN provider for help.

Chapter 3: When the Website Is Having a Bad Day

Imagine people finally making it to my library, but then they can't borrow any books because the library cards are all wet. Or worse, a dragon set the whole library on fire!

These are server errors. It's like when something goes wrong with the library itself, and people can't get the books they want. If you're facing this issue, you'd need to talk to the people who manage the library (your server managers) or the people who host your website.

Chapter 4: When Things Just Don't Work Out

Now, imagine people getting inside the library, but they can't find the book they want. Or sometimes, they're not allowed to enter a certain section of the library because they don't have the right password.

These are client errors. It's like when you ask for something, but it's not available or you're not allowed to have it. It's kind of like going to a store and asking for a toy they don't have. Or sometimes, it's like a secret room in the library that only certain people can enter.

Overcoming GSC Errors

In a nutshell, if you manage to overcome all these challenges and finally get what you're looking for, you can enjoy your favorite stories, just like you would when you find your favorite book in a library. Or, in this case, enjoy the content you're searching for on a website.
