as the homepage, instead of returning a 404) can be problematic. Firstly, a page like this (called a "soft" 404) tells search engines that there’s a real page at that URL. As a result, that URL may be crawled and its wordpress 404 error page plugin content indexed. Because of the time Googlebot spends on non-existent pages, your unique URLs may not be discovered as quickly or visited as frequently and your site’s crawl coverage may be impacted (also, you probably don’t want your site to rank well for the search query [File not found]). The first thing to ask yourself is: did this content ever exist?

You will want to: Open FTP Client and connect to your server (if you don't know how to do so, read this.) Navigate to the file's location Verify that the file exists If it is does not exist, you have found the source of your 404. However, it it does exist, yet pulling the URL up in a browser results in a 404 error, continue on to find out whether the issue is web server-based or WordPress-based. In FTP create two files at the root [/var/www/yourdomain.com/] for testing purposes. First: Create an html file named test.html that has the words “It worked” in it. (Download this file here.)
