If a website 404 redirect link could be created

If a website 404 redirect link could be created, how would you use it?

Do you only redirect the link to the main page of the website, or use this link redirect to go to multiple pages on the website?

Redirect to most relevant alternative.

Set up a 302 redirect to relevant content. Also, it's preferable to have a designated 404 page (make it branded and light-hearted). The 404 page should have either a built-in relevant content view, high-traffic content links, or clear bottom-up navigation. In my experience, rerouting people to the homepage is confusing and often results in a bounce with no return.

I will say the best practice in handling 404 errors is to redirect them to the most relevant page, not just your homepage.
