What are 404 errors?

[RH-Calvin]

A 404 error is an HTTP status code that means that the page you were trying to reach on a website couldn't be found on their server. The 404 Not Found error might appear for several reasons even though no real issue exists, so sometimes a simple refresh will often load the page you were looking for. The most common method is to retry the web page by pressing F5, clicking the refresh/reload button, or trying the URL from the address bar again.

The HTTP 404, 404 Not Found, and 404 error message is a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) standard response code, in computer network communications, to indicate that the client was able to communicate with a given server, but the server could not find what was requested.

The 404 Error Page, known as "page not found," is an HTTP[S] standardized status code that indicates an established connection with the server but an inability to find the page in question. Excessive 404 errors negatively impact a website's SEO and are lost revenue opportunities when the user does not ultimately navigate to the website.

Following are some of the most common reasons for HTTP 404 error.

1. You might be typing the incorrect URL in the browser. Sometimes, misspellings or mistyping the URLs, folder names, pages names result in 404 errors.

2. The webpage you browser does not exist in a website folder. Ask yourself if this page ever existed in your website? If it existed then you might have removed or renamed it recently. Restore your webpage or correct the links.

3. If your web pages are moved recently, that might be linked incorrectly. Check the internal and external links of web pages and correct the broken links.

4. Web pages are renamed recently and were not updated yet. Update the renamed web pages and correct their interlinkings.

5. Webpage resources such as images, .css, .js, or other files are removed from the server. Determine the deleted resources and restore them from the recent backup.

You’ll get a 404 error when you type in a URL incorrectly. If the site doesn’t have a page created with the address you typed in, you’ll get a 404 error. Some 404 landing pages are funny and some are simple, like in the examples above—but when you get one, it simply means, something went wrong. The most likely case is that the URL in your address bar was typed incorrectly, although it could be that the webmaster deleted the page you were trying to access, or changed the URL.
