After removing the /en prefix from my website URLs, Google still indexes old URLs with /en, causing 404 errors when users click search results.

Setting up 301 redirects from old URLs to new ones is standard but not obvious to non-technical users, and automated SEO tools often assume basic technical knowledge.
