Problem explanation
In order to find 'bad links' in my webpage I have crawled my webpage with the tool 'Screamingfrog' ..... one of the results is that I get a 404 alert wich seems to be caused by the Antispam plugin. As soon as I deactivate the plugin the alert disappears. Also a deinstallation / reinstallation of the plugin did not help ..... here the URL that will be prompted in Screaming frog
Prompted URL: https://my-domain/en/?option=com_comprofiler&view=pluginclass&plugin=cbantispam&action=captcha&func=image&id=8209945d0726095f63ff99c4522fc285&Itemid=1186&format=raw Status Code: 404
There's nothing to do. It's a captcha image endpoint that requires CSRF data. So crawling it with GET is going to result in a 404. You should just ignore that error in your tool as it is not a bad link, but a protected one.
