In that case, there is nothing you can do but wait. Sometimes a website may experience issues temporarily which might cause 404 errors. Check if the Website Has Temporary Issues
Here is how to clear your DNS cache on Google Chrome and do the same on macOS. If the website or page in question was recently moved to another IP address, then flushing the DNS should resolve the 404 error. Flushing deletes the DNS cache which then forces a new DNS lookup. You can also try to flush your DNS instead of changing your DNS server to resolve the error. RELATED: The Ultimate Guide to Changing Your DNS Server To work around that, you can change your DNS servers and try to access the website. If a website is giving you 404 error on multiple URLs while being accessible on other networks (like mobile), then it’s possible that your ISP has blocked access to that website, or that their DNS servers are not working properly. RELATED: How to Clear Your History in Any Browser Change your DNS Server To clear the cache in your browser, you can follow this extensive guide which will teach you how to clear your cache on all the popular desktop and mobile browsers. Clearing the cache won’t affect your browsing experience much, but some websites may a take a couple of extra seconds to load as they re-download all the previously cached data. To test out this possibility, you’ll have to clear your browser cache. It’s also possible the page with the error has been cached in your browser, but the actual link was changed on the website. In the image below, we’re using Google and the search phrase “site: focal length” to search just the site for the keywords. In the example below, you can’t really tell from the URL itself if anything is mistyped, but you can see some words from the name of the article.
If the URL you are trying to reach is descriptive (or if you know roughly the name of the article or page you were expecting), you can use the keywords in the address to search the website. In that example above, you can try changing “watht” to “watch” and seeing if you reach the correct page. Check the address and see if you spot any obvious errors, like in the image below. If you clicked a link on another web page and were shown a 404 error, it’s also possible that the link was mistyped on the linking page. If you typed a URL into your address box yourself, it’s possible you mistyped. It doesn’t fix the problem very often, but it takes just a second to try. Most browsers use the F5 key to refresh, and also provide a Refresh button somewhere on the address bar. The first thing you should try is refreshing the page. It doesn’t happen often, but sometimes web servers can glitch and simply fail to show a page that really does exist. So, let’s take a look at some things you can do to try to fix a 404 error on your end.
