These error messages can appear in any browser or any operating system. Most display inside the browser window just as web pages do. You can check to see which error IE is referring to by checking for either or in the title bar. Technically, an Error is a client-side error, implying that it's your mistake, either because you typed the URL incorrectly or the page has been moved or removed from the website and you should have known.
Another possibility is if a website has moved a page or resource but did so without redirecting the old URL to the new one. When that happens, you'll receive a error instead of being automatically routed to the new page. The Not Found error might appear for several reasons even though no real issue exists, so sometimes a simple refresh will often load the page you were looking for.
Check for errors in the URL. Move up one directory level at a time in the URL until you find something. For example, if www. If you get nothing here or an error , move up to www. This should lead you toward what you're looking for or at least confirm that it's no longer available. If you have moved all the way up to the website's home page, try to run a search for the information you're looking for.
If the site doesn't have a search function, try navigating to the page you want using category links to dig deeper into the site.
Search for the page from a popular search engine. It's possible that you simply have the entirely wrong URL in which case a quick Google or Bing search should get you where you want to go. If you do find the page you were after, update your bookmark or favorite to avoid the HTTP error in the future. Clear your browser's cache if you have any indication that the message might just be yours. For example, if you can reach the URL from your phone but not from your tablet, clearing the cache on your tablet's browser might help.
You might also consider clearing your browser's cookies or at least the one s involved with the website in question if clearing the cache didn't work. Change the DNS servers used by your computer, but usually only if an entire website is giving you a error, especially if the website is available to those on other networks e. No matter the reason, if it does happen, giving another set of DNS servers a try is a good step to take.
Contact the website directly. If they've removed the page you're after then the error is completely legitimate and they should be able to tell you that. If they've moved the page and are generating errors instead of redirecting visitors to the new page, they'll be happy to hear from you so they can go fix it.

Our advice would be to try out these potential solutions in the order that they are listed : Reload the page : It might be that the error has appeared for the simple reason that the page did not load properly.
Check the URL : Regardless of whether you have entered the URL address manually or been directed via a link, could be that a mistake has been made. For this reason you should check the specified path of the website. It could be that either you, or the person who entered the link, has mistyped something.
Apart from spelling mistakes, it could also be that forward slashes have been left out or misplaced. Go back through the directory levels : For example, if a URL of the following structure example.
All you need to do is clear the last directory in the URL. The link for the page you are looking for should be visible on the previous page. If it is not to be found on that page then you can also go back to the previous page and look for the correct link there.
But if it so happens that this method is also successful and you eventually end up back on the homepage, then move onto the next tip. By entering one or several keywords, it can help you find the specific page that you are looking for.
Use a search engine : You also have the possibility of using the website of your choice to find a website. Delete the browser cache and cookies: Ifyou can access the website from another device, and the HTTP error only seems to appear on a certain computer, then the problem could lie with your browser. Therefore you should delete the browser cache as well as all cookies for this site, and this may then finally allow you to access the page.
The operators of the website should be able to provide information as to whether the page you are looking for actually exists. It might be the case that the page in question has been moved to a new URL, and in this scenario you will be doing the website operator a big favor.
They can then carry out a error fix by introducing a domain redirect , which will automatically direct users from the old web page to the current one. Three of the best and most well-known are: Google Search Console formerly known as 'Google Webmaster Tools' : if you already have a Google account and have registered your website there, you should make use of the Google Search Console option.
Any errors found by the Google crawler are displayed in the web tool and can also be marked as corrected here too. Additional functions enable you to find errors in robots. Dead Link Checker : one of the simplest and fastest tools for finding both internally and externally linked pages is the Dead Link Checker. With this web app you simply enter the URL of the site you want to inspect and then start the check. Here you have the choice of checking a single web page or a whole site.
Finding errors is one thing. What you really need though is help fixing errors—and not all error monitoring and link check tools will do that. Ideally, you want to find tools that tell you where the broken links are located on your website or elsewhere on the web.
This makes correcting those broken links considerably easier. Other tools might suggest places to redirect the error , which can save you from having to spend time identifying the redirect destinations. In short, the more help the error monitoring tool provides, the faster you can fix the error. A lot of the help error monitoring tools can provide is in the form of data.
Finally, whatever tool you use to check for errors on your site, you want it to be easy to use and easy to install. Time spent configuring a tool is time you could be spending on other tasks.
Check if the tool requires you to add tracking code to your website or adding plugins within your CMS. One of the more popular tools for checking broken links that lead people to errors on your website is the broken link crawl or scan tool.
Crawl tools, like Screaming Frog or SiteLiner , check every link on your website to determine whether the link leads to a error. Side note: crawl tools can do a lot more than check for not-found errors.
These types of tools can be incredibly helpful to quickly evaluate the health of the links within your website. Running a crawl can help you identify which links on your website are broken, which does help you identify the source of the error making it easier to know what to correct. Plus, these tools tend to be easy to install and configure. A crawl tool is useful and should be used to evaluate the health of the links and pages on your website.
However, a crawl tool should never be relied upon exclusively to help you find and fix the not-found errors your visitors encounter. Tracking not-found errors in a web analytics tool, like Google Analytics, is possible and one common method is tracking errors via event tracking. The events appear under the Events report in Google Analytics.
For example, you could trigger the following event onload of the error page:. You can also track error pages by using a specific page title on your error page then query page reports in Google Analytics to look at pages matching that title. After changing dimensions, search the report to find any page with a Page Title that includes the title of your error page.
The event tracking is more advanced but the page title is typically an easier option. An analytics tool should be configured to help check for errors. The extra data can provide a clearer sense of priority and a clearer sense of what errors cost you. Of course, you want to find errors before they are a problem, so this method should be used in conjunction with a crawl tool.
As well, using analytics tools to track errors will require some configuration. Among a lot of other data, log files can provide a list of which URLs returned a error.
Like with analytics tools, you can use logs to get data about how people found the error, including errors that come from different sources. Another advantage is that log files look at every user that visited your website, including automated programs like robots from search engines.
In contrast, analytics tools actively remove bot traffic—for many of the questions analytics reports answer, this makes sense. But, with errors, you want to know how humans and robots are impacted so that you understand the cost to customers and the cost to search engine activity. Website log files can be incredibly useful to understand how your server is handling your visitors if you have a tool to help you parse the log file.
As a result, this tends to only make sense for larger websites where the impact of errors will be worth the greater amount of work to find and fix those errors.
One way to find errors on your website is to see if any other websites are linking to broken pages on your site. When other websites link to you, that link is referred to as an external link as in, external to your website or a backlink as in, a link linking back to your website.
You can then use that data to find which websites are linking to errors on your website. Looking for broken links that lead to errors on your site can be especially helpful for search marketing purposes.
Within search marketing, links from external websites help improve your rankings within search results. But by fixing that error you can reclaim that backlink and reclaim the benefit the backlink provided. At best, external link tools will never provide a complete picture of the errors visitors encounter.
Because these tools do more than look within your website for broken links, external link tools offer more information than link crawlers discussed above. So, with a backlink analysis, you will find more errors than you would when using a crawl tool. However, there are still lots of other ways people can find errors on your website that are missed by external link tools.
For instance, people can find broken links leading to s on your website on social networks, in email newsletters, from old bookmarks, and more. This is an important tool to use, but one to use on a less regular basis.
