Its speed is OK for internal links but as “Regnareb” it takes so much time to external links.I would not recommend its use.
Needs serious speed improvement.

This is not a good idea. There is no advantage to having a javascript pop-up versus a standard customized 404 page – same links can be present (for search, site map, etc), same text, you name it. All you get is a different, less standard UI around the content.

And to get this, you basically request every page twice. And make the user wait for BOTH round-trips. Not trying to be harsh here, but this is not a good trade-off.
