4.4 Setup necessary error pages and redirection links
Hosting, Infrastructure, and Systems
Provide clear error handling and ensure broken links are either fixed or redirected to destinations to prevent navigation issues.
Success Criteria
- Error pages:
Implement clear error handling and user-friendly error pages that explain what went wrong and guide users back to content. - Redirection:
Update broken and outdated links if they are no longer valid. Use redirects only when they clearly benefit users or preserve SEO value, and avoid long or unnecessary redirect chains. Apply proportionality so engineering and maintenance costs do not outweigh performance or SEO gains. Test redirects to prevent errors and loops, and choose the simplest effective approach.
