Server behavior6.4
404 page
Compression
- This website does not return a 404 error HTTP status code for missing pages. This is bad because search engines like Google might mistake this for a real page of content.
- Ensure your web server returns a 404 HTTP status code for error pages.
- This website was served with GZIP encoding. This is very good because it reduces the loading time of a web page.
