If you have ever surfed the internet for a couple hours, stumbling onto a 404 error is inevitable. An error 404 occurs when you reach a website that links to a web page that doesn’t exist. It’s similar to having a physical address for a house that doesn’t exist.

Others create a search page for their website to help redirect users to other possible solutions to what they are searching for.

404 Error pages are a great way to grab the attention of a user that might be upset that they ended up at a broken link or page that no longer exists. In addition, it gives the website owner a chance to reel them back into staying on their website a little longer.
