    HTTP response code 404 from your server that indicates the page isn’t there.

    A “soft” 404 error happens when the wrong code (often the 200 response code) is returned by your server when someone tries to access a page that no longer exists on your site.

    The 404-response code is the only one that carries a specific meaning – that the page is actually gone and probably isn’t coming back anytime soon.

    A soft 404 error isn’t an official response code sent to a web browser. It’s just a label Google adds to a page within their index.

    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.
