404 Not Found: What Does It Mean?

Hello, I'm Maneshwar. I'm building git-lrc, an AI code reviewer that runs on every commit. It is free, unlimited, and source-available on Github. Star Us to help devs discover the project. Do give it a try and share your feedback for improving the product.

When you see a 404 Not Found error, it means the server couldn’t find the resource you requested.

This happens if the URL is incorrect, the resource has been deleted, or it never existed in the first place.

In my API example, requesting an invalid route triggers a 404 response:

app.get('*', (req: Request, res: Response) => {rs a 404 response:

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

app.get('*', (req: Request, res: Response) => {
res.status(404).json({ error: "Not Found", message: "The requested resource was not found" });
});



It’s like trying to find a page in a book that was torn out—it simply doesn’t exist!

A 404 error means the server couldn’t find the resource you requested. It’s the web’s way of saying, 'This page doesn’t exist!
