Why 410 matters for SEO
- Eliminates soft-404 ambiguity (WordPress default: 404 for all missing content)
- Signals permanent removal to Googlebot, Bingbot, and other crawlers
- Reduces crawl budget waste on URLs that will never return
- Prevents deleted content polluting your search index
- Reduces CDN log noise and unnecessary bandwidth from bot traffic
