An effective 404 page should include: 1) Clear indication of the error (e.g., 'Page Not Found'). 2) A search bar to help users find what they need. 3) Links to important pages like the homepage, sitemap, and popular content. 4) A friendly and helpful tone. 5) A visually appealing design consistent with your website's branding. 6) Possibly a humorous element to soften the frustration of the error.
