404 pages are not errors and can even be (blasphemy!) an acceptable user experience.A 404 error means "not found". This is usually the page you get when you make a mistake spelling page name in a site.

404 means the page which are you looking for that is not available at this time on the server.

A 404 Not Found error can be a terrible disruption to user experience, particularly when it is not customized to reflect the brand of the website you are trying to navigate. Because visitors are forced to backtrack and reassess which page to visit next. Often, users simply leave.

404 error is not related to SEO, it is related to the link or web page that is not available on the server, so it means "Not Found"
