About the Wix 404 Error Message Page

A Wix 404 error message page is displayed when you or a site visitor enters a URL for a page on your site that does not exist. A 404 response code means "page not found". The Wix 404 page includes a short paragraph describing the reason for this response and a button that takes your site visitors to the home page of your site.

We display a 404 error message page because:

• We want your site visitors to know that they are looking for a specific URL that does not exist, rather than sending them to your home page.

• We want to provide the correct response. The 404 response says that the page does not exist.

Notes:

• If you have a page that no longer exists and is returning a 404 error, or you have changed the URL name of a previously published page, you can create a 301 redirect to your home page or to another page on the site.

• If the page is cited by AI tools or search engines, a 404 on a linked URL can cause AI-generated answers to point users to a dead page.

• If you see a page returning a 404 response which you believe is incorrect, click here to troubleshoot the problem.

• You can customize your 404 error page to make sure your visitors keep exploring your site after seeing the error.

• Currently, this is not available for verticals (Wix Stores, Wix Bookings etc, and third-party apps).
