Soft 404 Errors in Next.js
This guide explains what a soft 404 actually is, why it's worth fixing, and how to handle it in a Next.js application. A normal 404 happens when a server tells the browser "this page doesn't exist" using an HTTP 404 status code. A soft 404 happens when a page that should be treated as missing instead returns a 200 OK status, the server's way of saying "this page is fine" even though the page has little or no real content.
