Web designer have to consider many things at the time of designing the website. 404 error pages is one of them. What is 404 error? When you delete any page and user try to rich on that page or due to mistyped URL. Default error page looks so bad as well as can’t provide much information about that error to visitor.

But now every website and blog is using custom error pages to improve the usability of the website. If you website or blog is using CMS like WordPress then there are many plugins which can help you to create a custom 404 error page.

In addition, I am going to show you 5 best WordPress plugins for 404 error pages.

Smart 404

This plugin will perform a search of your posts, pages, tags and categories, using keywords from the requested URL. If there’s a match, redirect to that content instead of showing the error.

The Free 404 Plugin

This simple plugin will give you a customized, smart ‘Page Not Found(404)’ error message. It will automatically display links to relevant pages on your site, based on the words in the URL that was not found.

Redirection

Redirection is a WordPress plugin to manage 301 redirections, keep track of 404 errors, and generally tidy up any loose ends your site may have. This is particularly useful if you are migrating pages from an old website, or are changing the directory of your WordPress installation.

WP 404 images fix

Allows you to load a default alternative image where you are having image missing on your post. That is, if you embed an image in post, and the images is deleted or moved from the server, then you can load an alternative image to there by default.

No 404 Errors

I use this plugin on Machoarts.com. This plugin is so simple to use. Just create one page for 404 by inserting some images and text and then publish it. Go to plugins options and redirect your default 404 error page to this new page.
