Definition
A soft 404 is when a missing page returns HTTP 200 with empty or generic content, confusing crawlers.
Why it matters during migration
Audit migration templates to ensure true 404 status codes and helpful recovery links.
How To WP applies this
Our audits and delivery playbooks reference soft 404 when scoping redirects, QA, and launch monitoring — especially for SEO workstreams.
