But what a 404 page doesn\u2019t usually do is provide anything useful to the frustrated user. The <a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\/extend\/plugins\/true-google404\/\" target=\"_blank\">True Google 404<\/a> plugin aims to remedy that. It uses the trueGoogleSearch API to turn your usual useless 404 page into a handy list of urls that will help your user find what they are looking for.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/truegoogle404.jpg\" alt=\"Post image\" aria-hidden=\"true\" title=\"truegoogle404\" width=\"530\" height=\"485\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-77413\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Easily customizable, this plugin can be tweaked to provide links from your site only or general suggestions based on limited keywords. These suggestions can keep users on your site longer and give them the chance to get useful information instead of ending up at a frustrating old 404 page not found message.
