A single broken link can stop a reader, kill trust, and hide an important story. On this Technology page we cover the practical stuff you can use today: quick fixes for web problems, news from African startups, gadget updates, and simple guides that actually save time.
Whether you manage a site, build apps, or just follow tech trends, you'll find short, useful posts that cut through the noise. We focus on clear steps and real-world examples — no jargon, no fluff.
Got a 404 or a dead link? Start with these fast checks. First, copy-paste the URL into a plain text editor and look for odd characters, spaces or wrong slashes. Small typos are the most common cause. Next, try removing query strings (anything after ?) or trailing slashes — sometimes servers treat those differently.
If the link used to work, check redirects. A missing 301 redirect after a page move will show a URL error to visitors and search engines. On WordPress, plugins like Redirection help manage this without editing code. For custom sites, set redirects in your server config or through your hosting control panel.
Use Google Search Console or your server logs to find pages that return 4xx or 5xx errors. Those tools show which URLs users tried and where traffic is being lost. Add a friendly custom 404 page with a search box and key links so visitors can recover from a bad link instead of leaving.
We publish a practical post titled "URL Error: How Incorrect Links Impact Online Content Accessibility" that walks through these steps with screenshots and examples you can follow. If your site serves readers across Africa, fixing broken links improves access and trust quickly.
Expect short explainers, hands-on how-tos, and news that matters to African tech makers and users. We'll cover mobile money changes, startup funding rounds, infrastructure updates, and tools that help small teams move faster. When a problem becomes common — like repeated URL errors — we publish step-by-step guides to fix it.
