404 Error

A 404 error, commonly displayed as "Page Not Found," is an HTTP status code that occurs when a web server cannot find the requested webpage or resource. This can happen for several reasons, including a mistyped URL, a broken link, or a webpage that has been removed or relocated.

When a user encounters a 404 error, it means that the server was unable to locate the specific page requested, resulting in a standard error message being displayed in the browser. This message typically informs the user that the requested page could not be found and may suggest returning to the homepage or performing a search to locate the desired content.

Web developers often customize 404 error pages to provide helpful information or navigation options to guide users back to relevant sections of the website. Overall, encountering a 404 error indicates a temporary inability to access the requested webpage due to various factors related to website structure or content availability.
