Using two 404 NOT FOUND pages

[RonFav]

Hi all,

I was wondering if any of you can advise whether it's no issue to use two separate custom 404 pages. The 404 pages would be different for different parts of the site. For instance, if you're on /community/ and you enter a non-existing page on: www.sample.com/community/example/ it would give you a different 404 page than someone who runs into a non existing page at: www.sample.com/definition/example/

Does anybody have experience with this and would this be fine?

Hi,

As long as the response code returns a valid 404 code - it doesn’t matter how the page looks like or if they are different. Actually having custom different page not found it's a good usability thing - so it's great - but they need to return a valid 404 response code.

Hope it helps.

Hi, thanks for your reply. Yes for sure the response code will be 404 in the HTTP. I just was not sure whether two separate custom 404 not found pages was alright.

Cheers
