What is a 404 not found error?
One of your customers clicks on one of your products expecting to read its description or add it to their cart but… surprise! The page no longer exists. But why does this happen? 404 errors can occur due to a number of factors . For example, they can appear when a URL has been changed without having been redirected. If this situation sounds familiar to you, we have some advice for the future: Never touch a URL without redirecting it from the old URL to the new one. Another factor that can generate a 404 error is when adding a product EAN in the Prestashop panel. This action adds the EAM to the URL, modifying it and… Causing another 404 error. As you can see, without having the necessary information it is very easy to make mistakes and cause those “this page does not exist” errors without meaning to.
