Description
When clicking the following footer links:
- Blog & Car Talk
- Referral Program
- Reservation & Purchase
- Glossary of Terms
- Shipping Schedule
- Shipping Agents
- Become a Seller
A placeholder page briefly appears with a heading and dummy content before the user is redirected to a 404 Page Not Found screen.
This behavior is misleading because users initially believe the page is loading normally, only to be taken to a 404 state, resulting in a poor user experience.
Screens: Desktop (≥768px), Tablet (425px–768px), Mobile (≤375px)
Tested By: Tasfia Zaima
Steps to Reproduce¶
- Open the PQS Japan staging website.
- Scroll to the Footer section.
- Click any of the affected footer navigation links listed above.
- Observe that a placeholder page loads briefly.
- After a moment, the page redirects to a 404 Page Not Found error.
Expected Result¶
Footer links should route directly to their correct and fully implemented pages without showing placeholder content or redirecting to a 404 screen.
Actual Result¶
Each affected footer link:
- Shows a placeholder/dummy page briefly
- Redirects to a 404 Page Not Found page
