Frequently Asked Questions
What is 404 Page?
The 404 page is a default error page displayed when a user tries to access a page that does not exist. In the E-commerce sense, this page normally appears when the store runs out of stock. You should avoid having this page, especially when optimizing SEO criteria for your Shopify Page, as it brings bad experience for both visitors and Google Bot.
Why should I add function buttons in my 404 page?
You should avoid sending customers to a dead-end page, where customers cannot find any button to get back to the homepage, or to see different products. This is the easiest way to lose a customer! Therefore, you should always add an ‘Back’ or ‘Visit Homepage’ Button in the 404 Page.
