React 404 Page & Redirects Explained | React Router v6 Error Handling (2026 Guide)
Learn how to create a 404 Not Found page and implement redirects in React using React Router v6. In this video, we explain how modern React applications handle invalid routes, broken URLs, and page redirects using the latest routing techniques in React Router for 2026.
When users visit a page that does not exist in your application, showing a proper 404 page is essential for both user experience and application reliability. Instead of leaving users confused with a blank screen or unexpected behavior, React applications can handle unmatched routes gracefully by displaying a custom error page. This video demonstrates exactly how to implement a professional 404 page in React Router v6 using the wildcard route.
We also cover redirects in React, which are critical when pages move, routes change, or authentication rules require users to be redirected. You will learn how the Navigate component works, when redirects should be used, and how modern React apps manage navigation flow effectively. Redirects are commonly used in login systems, protected routes, and URL restructuring.
In modern web development, handling navigation errors and redirections properly is considered a best practice. Applications in 2026 React ecosystems focus heavily on user experience, clean routing structure, and predictable navigation behavior. Understanding how to manage 404 pages and redirects ensures that your React applications remain robust and user-friendly even when users access unexpected URLs.
By the end of this video, you will clearly understand:
• How to create a custom 404 page in React
• How the wildcard route (*) works in React Router v6
• How to implement redirects using the Navigate component
• When redirects should be used in real-world applications
