What it checks

The status a page that doesn't exist answers with.

Why it matters

A missing page that answers 200 looks like a real one, so search engines index error pages and keep dead links.

How to fix it

  1. Have the server or CMS answer 404 for pages it doesn't have, while still showing your error page.
