Redirecting a 404

Redirecting 404s to another page, like the home page, is not advisable. A 404 indicates a non-existent page, which is a valid response. Instead of redirecting, modify your 404 page for better user experience. Redirects should only be for pages that moved, not those that don't exist anymore. Redirecting unrelated pages can harm SEO and confuse users. Use 404 logs to identify actual pages needing redirects rather than automating all 404 responses, as it adds unnecessary complexity.
