I thought those pages just happen. I didn't know you could actually make a 404 page. What would the reason why you would make that page?

Well, sometimes you delete some posts, or change the url. In these cases when somebody lands on the old url cannot access any content so 404 (error NOT FOUND) pages are made to let the users know that this page is unavailable.

They do just happen Tamron. The default 404 page is a bit boring though. lol

Usually, when someone visits your site and they get a 404 page they usually just leave your site altogether. If you customize your 404 and include something eye catching...maybe a search box or a link they can click to get to your home page, you have a better chance of them staying longer.

Well 404 is just the error code which is linked to a page to give the user a message. Adding a search box, recent posts-list and/or popular posts list is all a part of strategy to engage users.
