The Origin of 404 Page

Recently, the new 404 page has been online by Tencent QQ Space, if the user points the wrong link or the requested link does not exist, the system will automatically go to this new 404 page.

404 The origin of the page

See these, perhaps also may be thinking, 404 page is What? Why is it called the 404 page? When it comes to this, "I heard that before the third technological revolution, the Internet was the form of a large central database, in 404 rooms settings This database . At that time, all requests were manually completed, and if the requester needed a file that was not found in the database, or was not found because the requester had written the wrong file number, the user would get a return message: Reactiveness 404:file Not found. After the internet was constantly used by people, people are accustomed to using 404 as the server did not find the file error code.

Generally speaking, all websites have a 404 page, when the user clicks the error link or the permission question is denied the access time this page, like above is the general default 404 page. But because this page is not friendly to the user, so usually the site will customize their own 404 pages, with the above default 404 pages (the ugliest, most boring), there is automatic jump to the home page (Cnbeta, Tencent Technology), there are automatic jump to help pages, search or navigation pages, Of course, there are 404 pages with a little sense of humor, like the 404 pages of our geek Park below.

You can see that the purpose of the 404 page is to tell the viewer that the page you are requesting does not exist or that the link is wrong, and that the user is directed to other pages of the site. And when the page can be customized, it means that it can also play more role in guiding the user can also display the recruitment information, as well as today's main introduction of the 404 Public information.

404 Public Activities

As mentioned above, since the custom 404 pages can display a variety of information, then the public welfare information is certainly no exception. Foreign children focus of the NotFound plan (above) as well as the domestic benefit of 404 pages of Child anti-trafficking (below), are using 404 pages to show the public information of lost children.

So there is now this 404 Public Service page.
