What Is The Difference Between Soft 404 And 404 Errors?

Soft 404 is when server redirects to a customised page to stop user from viewing the requested resource. There might be cases like a 404 has happened or it may not happened.

A "soft 404" is when a document describing a 404 error is returned by the server with a 200 OK status code in the HTTP headers.

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.
