To solve a 404 error on a website, you can follow these steps:

1. Check the URL: Ensure that the URL is correct and leads to the intended page. Sometimes, a simple typo in the URL can result in a 404 error.

2. Clear Cache: Clear your browser cache and reload the page. A cached version of the page might be causing the error.

3. Refresh the Page: Press the refresh or reload button on your browser. It could be that the page did not load correctly on the first attempt.

4. Check the Server: Verify whether there is an issue with the server hosting the website. This can be done by trying to access other pages on the same website or by visiting other websites to see if they load properly.

5. Contact Website Administrator: If the problem persists, contact the website administrator or support team. They can help troubleshoot the issue further and provide guidance to fix it.

Remember that a 404 error indicates that the requested page is not found, so if none of the above steps work, it is possible that the page simply does not exist on the website.

It depends on where those errors come from. If you have changed url of that page you should 301 redirect old url to a new one that means that page is moved permanently.
If you have deleted some page then you should 410 redirect that page that means that page is gone.

A 404 error is an HTTP status code that means that the page you were trying to reach on a website couldn't be found on their server. The 404 Not Found error might appear for several reasons even though no real issue exists, so sometimes a simple refresh will often load the page you were looking for.
