Quora Ask New Question Sign In What are the cutest Error 404 pages? Ellie Kesselman , Quora user since post private-beta, June 2010 Updated 208w ago · Author has 602 answers and 1.3m answer views This is the Bindass.com - Rest Less 404 page, with a cute hungry critter, and friendly words. I thought this was sweet too. Love, Motherboard I really like Bitly as a URL shortener, but never liked their logo. "Oh noes! 404!" is the first really cute rendering of the Bitly puffer fish. The Reddit (product) alien is technically not a 404 but a 500 series error (maybe HTTP 503) but is extremely cute. I think the U.S. Federal Railroad Administration 404 page is cute because of the words, track switches and stripes. I really like trains, so I may have a cuteness-bias toward railroad themes. I like this older, 404 YouTube Channel or User not found page (with rounded corner button) more than the new square version. Unfortunately, the website where I found this 404 has 404'd too. I have an album of 404 screen shots on Picasa . Some are cute, some silly. The cutest might be this from website alphademon . 915 Views · View 5 Upvoters View 20 other answers to this question About the Author Ellie Kesselman Statistician and quantitative analyst; I do due diligence. .AboutAuthorSection .AboutSection{font-size:13px;margin-bottom:-16px}.AboutAuthorSection .AboutSection .AboutListItem{padding-bottom:8px}.AboutSection{margin-bottom:16px}.AboutSection .contents{display:block}.AboutListItem{position:relative;padding:0 0 16px 24px;color:}a.AboutListItem{display:block}a.AboutListItem:hover{text-decoration:none}a.AboutListItem:hover .main_text{text-decoration:underline}.AboutListItem .list_item_icon{background-position:center;background-size:16px 16px;width:16px;height:16px;background-repeat:no-repeat}.AboutListItem .list_item_icon{position:absolute;top:2px;left:0}.AboutListItem .main_text{color:;font-weight:500}.AboutListItem .main_text a{color:}.AboutListItem .detail_text{display:block}.AboutListItem a{color:}.AnswerViewsAboutListItem .list_item_icon{background-image:url(//qsf.fs.quoracdn.net/-3-images.icons.question_highlights.views.svg-26-826fcc26080268bc.svg)}.WorkCredentialListItem .list_item_icon{background-image:url(//qsf.fs.quoracdn.net/-3-images.icons.profile.work.svg-26-b66b1b350d4237ab.svg)}.SchoolCredentialListItem .list_item_icon{background-image:url(//qsf.fs.quoracdn.net/-3-images.icons.profile.education.svg-26-0ee4a4b6e4d167ff.svg)}.LocationCredentialListItem .list_item_icon{background-image:url(//qsf.fs.quoracdn.net/-3-images.icons.profile.location.svg-26-03f824ba0d06ef93.svg)} Bank model validation and governance at USAA 2015-present M.S. from Stanford Management Science and Engineering Graduated 1985 Lives in Chesapeake, VA 2018-present 1.3m answer views 12.4k this month .__live_spinner{-webkit-animation:fadeInUp 150ms ease-out 0s 1 normal forwards;-o-animation:fadeInUp 150ms ease-out 0s 1 normal forwards;animation:fadeInUp 150ms ease-out 0s 1 normal forwards;border-radius:3px;position:fixed;bottom:32px;left:32px;background-color:;border:1px solid ;height:30px;width:45px;box-shadow:0 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);z-index:2000}.__live_spinner.fade_out{-webkit-animation:fadeOutDown 150ms ease-out 0s 1 normal forwards;-o-animation:fadeOutDown 150ms ease-out 0s 1 normal forwards;animation:fadeOutDown 150ms ease-out 0s 1 normal forwards}.__live_spinner .__live_spinner_indicator{position:static}.__live_spinner .__live_spinner_indicator .LoadingDots{position:absolute;top:calc(50% - 10px)}.PMsgContainer{position:fixed;z-index:1900;top:53px;width:100%}

Still have a question? Ask your own!

You should login to Google Webmaster Tools and do fetch as google , if the page returns a status 200 then you know that your pages are working as intended and what you're experiencing is just the Google cache service not working, which should resolve itself in time.
