Fix HTTP Error 404 Not Found

The Problem: You click a link and get a "404 Not Found" message.

The Short Answer: This means the page you are looking for has been moved or deleted. The server is working, but the specific address (URL) is wrong.

Method 1: Check the URL

The most common cause is a typo.

• Look at the address bar.
• Did you type .com instead of .org?
• Are there any extra slashes //?

Method 2: Use the Site Search

If you followed a link from another site, the page might have moved.

• Go to the website's homepage (delete everything after the .com).
• Look for a search bar.
• Type the topic of the article you wanted.

Method 3: Use the Internet Archive

If the page is truly gone, you might be able to see an old version.

• Go to archive.org.
• Paste the URL of the broken page.
• Click on a date in the calendar to see how the page looked in the past.
