Redirect 404 page to similar URLs

For example: Since /MemeAdvisor doesn't exist, it will load /404.html which should recognize the spelling error in the request and redirect to /MemeAdviser

One possible way to go about this would be to calculate the Levenshtein distance between the requested page that doesn't exist (like MemeAdvisor) to a list of existing pages that do exist (like ['MemeAdviser', '1pt', 'meme'] and redirect to the page that is the closest to the user's request, but only if it isn't too far off.

The ideal end result would be something like this:

MemeAdvisor → MemeAdviser
indexs.htm → index.html
somerandomgibberish.txt → 404.html

Since nothing close to somerandomgibberish.txt exists, it should redirect to 404.html

Move to Netlify
