Description
When landing on a non-existing page inside a subdirectory, there is no way to go back to the Homepage or any other page easily. All links in the navigation menu seem to be relative to the current directory, so from one 404 you go to another 404.
For example, we still have a redirect from http://downloads.perfsonar.net that points to https://www.perfsonar.net/about/where-can-it-be-downloaded/
And the redirect should be corrected too… ;-)

Research direction
Start by inspecting the website navigation links and the redirect from http://downloads.perfsonar.net to identify where their relative URLs are defined. Confirm that navigation from a nonexistent page in a subdirectory reaches the Homepage and other pages, and that the downloads redirect points to the intended URL.
