What could be the possible reason for receiving a 200 status code on the /404 page in Webflow?
The 200 status code is an HTTP status code that indicates a successful request. However, receiving a 200 status code on the /404 page in Webflow indicates that there might be an issue with the implementation of the 404 page.
Possible reasons for receiving a 200 status code on the /404 page in Webflow could include:
Incorrect configuration: It's possible that the 404 page has been set up incorrectly in Webflow or the web server. Double-check the configuration to ensure that the appropriate settings are in place.
Improper redirection: If the /404 page is meant to redirect users to another page, there could be an issue with the redirection setup. Make sure that the redirection is correctly configured, with the appropriate HTTP status code (such as 301 or 302) indicating a redirect instead of a 200 status code.
Custom code conflicts: If you have custom code or scripts implemented on the /404 page, there might be a conflict that is causing the incorrect status code. Check for any conflicting code that may be interfering with the page's status code.
Caching issues: Sometimes, caching can cause unexpected behavior with the /404 page. Clear any browser caches or try accessing the page from a different browser to rule out caching issues.
To fix the issue and ensure the correct status code, follow these steps:
A. Check the configuration of the /404 page in Webflow or your web server to confirm that it is set up correctly.
B. If you have set up a redirection from the /404 page, review the configuration and ensure that the appropriate redirect status code is being used.
C. Double-check any custom code or scripts implemented on the /404 page to identify potential conflicts.
D. Clear browser caches or try accessing the page from a different browser to rule out caching issues.
It's important to address the issue of receiving a 200 status code on the /404 page to ensure that search engines and users receive the correct indication of a missing page. Receiving a 200 status code on the /404 page can negatively impact search engine optimization (SEO) and user experience.
