HTTP 404 Not Found vs 410 Gone
Both 404 and 410 indicate a missing resource, but 410 adds the explicit signal that the resource is permanently gone. A 404 is ambiguous — the resource may return in the future — while a 410 tells clients and search engines to stop looking for it.
Deskripsi
The server cannot find the requested resource. The URL may be wrong, the resource may have been deleted, or it may never have existed.
Ketika Anda Melihatnya
When a URL is mistyped, a page has been deleted, or an API endpoint doesn't exist.
Cara Memperbaiki
Verify the URL is correct. Check for typos, case sensitivity, and trailing slashes.
Deskripsi
The resource is permanently gone and will not be available again. Unlike 404, this is intentional and permanent.
Ketika Anda Melihatnya
When a resource has been deliberately removed and should be de-indexed by search engines.
Cara Memperbaiki
Remove references to this URL. Search engines will de-index the page.
Perbedaan Utama
404 is ambiguous — the resource may or may not come back; search engines may re-crawl the URL later.
410 is definitive — the resource is permanently gone; search engines will de-index the URL faster.
404 is the safe default when you are unsure whether the resource will return.
410 signals intent to search engines and helps them clean up their index more quickly.
Both are cacheable by default, but 410 is more aggressively honored by search engine crawlers.
Kapan Menggunakan Yang Mana
Use 404 when a resource cannot be found and you are not sure if it ever existed or will exist in the future. Use 410 when you have deliberately removed a resource and want search engines to de-index it quickly, such as after deleting a product, closing an account, or removing content for legal reasons.
