Whenever a page on your site doesn't load, an error message shall be displayed to the visitor. Since there are different errors, there are different pages which will appear, but what is standard for all of them is that they're generic and almost certainly will have practically nothing that is similar to the design of your website, which can be irritating for any site visitor. That is the primary reason why web hosting providers have introduced a function called Custom Error Pages. For a range of different errors, visitors shall see your unique content, which could be informative or humorous, depending on your choice, and that will match the layout of your site, so the pages will not look like they're not part of your website at all. You can use this option for numerous errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).
