The 404 file

The 404 file

I get a daily report that walks through the website’s stats for the previous 24 hours. Cycles down through my e-mail just about every morning. A long page of statistics is pretty boring stuff.

But there are a few nuggets. I’m winning the war – finally – on 404. The ubiquitous “404 File Not Found” error, I’ve got that one reduced to just a few instances every day. Better yet, the missing files are graphic components left over from previous iterations of the site’s design – the way I understand it, that’s a call made from some browser’s cache, looking for a file that isn’t here anymore.

Means it’s your problem, not mine. Code integrity is all-important.
