What is a 404 Page? A 404 page, or error page, is the content a user sees when they try to reach a non-existent page on our website. It 's the page your server displays when it can 't find the URL requested by the user. To learn more about 404 errors themselves and how they play into SEO, see our guide to crawl errors.

Once there is content on the page, the 404 error will go away. Because the website server can now locate resources at that URL for serving to users. You might be able to populate content on the page by restoring backup content. Or you can always create new content by adding to the page.
