SEO tools giving 404 errors when crawling site (PS 1.6)

Hi,

I have a strange problem which I've been trying to troubleshoot - I've found similar issues online, but not the specific one I'm having.

I'm trialling several SEO tools (Moz, SEMrush, ahrefs), and when they crawl my site (https://accessoriesforthehome.co.uk), I'm getting loads of weird 404 URLs listed in the results.

It's something to do with relative links I think, as it seems to be adding an incorrect path to the URL.

Here's an example:

https://accessoriesforthehome.co.uk/wallpaper/content/2-privacy-policy

or

https://accessoriesforthehome.co.uk/content/category/content/2-privacy-policy

The actual URL for this page is https://accessoriesforthehome.co.uk/content/2-privacy-policy

I get over 22k bad URLs from one of the crawlers and they all seem to be linked to the 2-privacy-policy document which is just a standard CMS page with no weird code in it. The other CMS pages don't appear to cause the same issue (although I'll admit I've not checked all 22k bad links!)

Fortunately, Google Search Console does not appear to be seeing these bad links, but it's a concern as to why the SEO crawlers are.

Has anyone experienced anything like this?

Thanks,

Andrew
