| Jun 2, 2017 at 23:30 | comment | added | Kenneth Odle | This is likely to be a frustrating experience for your users. Imagine trying to get to a page you think exists but doesn't, and you just keep landing on the home page. After a short period of frustration, they leave. 404 pages exist for a reason. A better strategy is to put a search box or a link to your home page on your 404 page. | |

| Jun 2, 2017 at 12:06 | comment | added | nyedidikeke | I wouldn't redirect users to a home page if the requested page can't be found. Rather, display a 404 error page. After that, you may redirect after a given amount of time, having informed the user that the requested page was not available, accounting for you redirecting him/her to the home page of your site.
