An HTML 404 error page is displayed when a user requests a webpage that doesn't exist on a server. It's a standard HTTP status code (404 Not Found) and the 404 page is the custom-designed HTML that the server sends to the user's browser when it encounters this error. A well-designed 404 page helps users find what they're looking for, prevents frustration, and maintains a positive brand image.
