I recently started running a website and found that the design of the 404 page is very important. Now many websites have 404 pages for children (pages for lost or trafficked children across the country). Of course, I will also find some websites. The 404 page is very interesting, or it can be a comfort to people who can’t find the page! It is the existence of the 404 page that allows users to deal with it very easily after opening a dead link without any complaints. This fully illustrates the importance of the existence of such a 404 page.
That is to say, after designing a 404 page, when the user opens it When a link on a website does not correctly point to the content page, a 404 page will be used to return to the client. If a website does not have a 404 page, then the return page that users may get is an error page with a lot of code, which will make users very confused and lose trust in your website. And if you design this kind of 404 page, it can kindly remind users, and even make users smile, which seems to make your website stand out immediately.
And this importance is not only reflected in the user experience, You must know that the main way Baidu Spider collects websites is through the URL links of the website. If there are too many dead links in a website and there is no corresponding return processing, then the spider will find dead ends everywhere in your website. In this context, Baidu Spider will definitely gradually weaken or even lose interest in your website, thus affecting the weight of your website. So from an optimization perspective, designing a 404 page also plays a very important role.
The website uses a virtual hosting space and can easily design a 404 page because The control panel in the virtual host space also has a 404 error page setting column. After finding this column, then set the 404 page in the properties page. However, sometimes the virtual host space also has the problem of not being able to support 404 pages. At this time, you need to contact the corresponding space provider, so finding a good space provider can save you a lot of trouble.
After setting up the 404 property page, you also need to provide it on the property page An automatic jump function, that is, when the user opens a dead link, the 404 page will pop up. After the 404 page is displayed for ten seconds or dozens of seconds, it will automatically jump to the previous link page. This makes it easier for users to click again. This can effectively improve the user experience, and also help Baidu spiders re-traverse the website URL, improving the affinity for search engines.
In short, the existence of the 404 page is of very important significance.
