404 page generator: what it is for

The 404 error page appears when someone opens an address that doesn't exist on your site. The server's default one is ugly and doesn't help people keep browsing.

This generator creates a light, dependency-free 404.html in your brand colors, with a friendly message, a button to the home page, a Google search limited to your domain and the links you choose, plus the noindex tag. The help explains how to set it up on Apache, Nginx, static hosts and buckets, keeping the 404 status so Google doesn't treat it as a soft 404.

How to use

  1. Write the site name, title and message.
  2. Choose the colors, home page, links and search.
  3. Download 404.html and set it up on your host.

When to use it

  • A new site that doesn't have an error page yet.
  • An online store with products that go offline.
  • A site that changed its addresses.

Frequently asked questions

How do I add the 404 page to my site?

On most static hosts (Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, GitHub Pages, Firebase) just save it as 404.html at the root. On Apache use ErrorDocument 404 /404.html in .htaccess; on Nginx, error_page 404 /404.html; on Google Cloud or AWS buckets, set the static website's error page.

Does the page need to respond with a 404 status?

Yes. If the server returns 200 on an error page, Google treats it as a soft 404 and may index addresses that don't exist. The setups above keep the 404 status; the noindex tag is extra protection.

What does a good 404 page have?

It clearly says the page doesn't exist, doesn't blame the visitor, keeps the site's identity and offers paths: back to home, search and the most popular links.
