Custom 404 Page

By default, WebStadia shows a generic "File not found" page when a visitor requests a URL that doesn't exist. You can replace this with your own custom 404 page.

Setting a custom 404 page

1. Go to your site's Settings tab
2. Under Custom 404 Page, enter the path to your 404 file (e.g., 404.html)
3. Click Save

How it works

When a request returns a 404 status, WebStadia checks if the custom 404 page file exists in your deployed site. If it does, it serves that file with a 404 status code.

Most static site generators create a 404.html file automatically:

Framework	Default 404 Path
Next.js	404.html
Gatsby	404.html
Astro	404.html
Hugo	404.html
Static HTML	Create your own 404.html

Example

Create a 404.html in your site's root:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>Page Not Found</title>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>404 - Page Not Found</h1>
  <p>The page you're looking for doesn't exist.</p>
  <a href="/">Go back home</a>
</body>
</html>

Then set 404.html as your custom 404 path in the settings.
