First of all you have to find the broken links (404/301) of your site. To do so, you need to:

  1. Go to Screaming Frog.
  1. Once on Screaming Frog. You must launch the crawl.
  1. Then on the right side of the screen you have to go to "Responses Codes" and then "Client Error 4xx" for 4xx errors and "Redirection 3xx" for the redirections. + search for jogadores.pt
  1. A few 301 exist, they are linked somewhere on the website. Juste create a task asking for those links to be removed (if redirected to homepage) or replaced for the right link (if redirected to a similar page). You can check where those links appear by selecting an url and looking at the inlinks tab below.

This allows you to find particular problems. Exemple below :

On this website all the tags written in cyrillic were redirecting to the homepage (because of the special characters). Here, the fix is just asking a dev to translate characters into latin characters (instead of removing the link). Always check a few pages to check where the link appear before removing it, sometimes the solution is a bit different.
