There aren’t many features or functionalities you can play with when it comes to creating and managing a 404 error page. It’s an error code, used to denote a webpage which has no specific content.
For an authority website, having a proper and custom 404 error page is extremely important, as it’s a showcase of how you plan to handle an error.
Now, most of the premium themes (almost every) have specific custom 404 page, which keeps the admins away from requiring any such specific plugins.
But, if you’re among the other case, then here is a compilation of best WordPress 404 plugins. You can go ahead with the list, and check out the exact product to go forward with.
Before you begin, most of the features and functionalities will be all same. So, you’ll find it tough to pick a single one out of these.

You forget the most important thing in your reviews:
By far, most 404’s are generated by hackers, trying to hack the site…
So it’s far better to use security plugins to analyze the 404’s than just redirecting them to your homepage or so.
Hackers are not interested in visiting your homepage 😉
My two pence…
Hey Rolf,
Thank you for stopping by and pointing out that important bit of information to us. We recently wrote an in-depth security guide here: https://www.wpmultiverse.com/blog/wordpress-security/ for anyone interested in beefing up their WP security. I use security plugins in conjunction with 404 plugins to monitor broken links and where users are getting stuck.
