What is the purpose of the HTTP status code 404?
  • Step 1: Understand that HTTP stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol, which is a way for web browsers and servers to communicate.
  • Step 2: When you try to visit a webpage, your browser sends a request to the server for that page.
  • Step 3: The server checks if the requested page exists.
  • Step 4: If the page does not exist, the server sends back a response with a status code.
  • Step 5: The status code 404 means 'Not Found', indicating that the server could not find the requested page.
