# Vercel deployment returns 404 error on page refresh for internal links

Hello!

## Problem
My Vercel project seems to be working fine until the page is refreshed while the user is on an internal link (such as `/profile`), at which point it returns a `404` error.

## Current Behavior
- Navigating via internal links works correctly.
- Refreshing the page on any route other than the root results in a `404` error.

Are there any fixes to this or is it just user error?

A human should be around soon to offer more advice. But you can also get helpful information quickly by asking [v0](https://v0.app/).
