<p><strong>– This plugin has been adopted! Please review the description below. –</strong></p>
<p>A 404 page is what a user sees when they try to reach a non-existent page on your site (because they’ve clicked on a broken link, the page has been deleted or they’ve mistyped a URL).</p>
<p>While the standard 404 page can vary depending on your web host, it doesn’t usually provide the user with much useful information and users may just surf away from your site. Therefore, Google recommend creating a custom 404 page that provides the user with more information about your site and its content.</p>
<p>The Google 404 widget is a quick and easy way to embed a search box on your custom 404 page and provide users with useful information designed to help them find the information they need. Where it can, the Google widget will also suggest other ways for the user to find the information they need, thus increasing the likelihood that they’ll continue to explore your site.</p>
<p>For best results, you should set up a <a href="http://www.google.com/webmasters/" title="Google" rel="nofollow ugc">Google webmaster account</a> and submit an XML sitemap of your blog to ensure the Google 404 widget works effectively.</p>

<h4>Features</h4>
<p>Currently the plugin outputs the Google 404 widget in US English by default, or tries to use the current WordPress language.<br />
You can use the <code>google_404_language</code> filter to specify a different language code.</p>
<p>Also looking to add the possibility to <a href="https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/100044" rel="nofollow ugc">change the appearance</a> of the widget.</p>
<h4>Please note</h4>
<p>The Google 404 widget plugin is NOT a WordPress widget.<br />
It is simply the term Google use to describe their enhanced 404 page script.</p>
<h4>Adoption Story</h4>
<p>This plugin was originally developed by <a href="https://profiles.wordpress.org/husobj/" rel="nofollow ugc">Ben Huson</a> and was adopted in September 2014 thanks to the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/adopt-me" rel="ugc">adopt-me</a> tag.</p>
<h4>Coming Soon!</h4>
<p>The ability to customize the CSS from an options page within the WordPress Admin area, attempt to dynamically inject the Google search box without needing to modify your template files, and more!</p>

<li>NOTE: Please read installation instructions. WP Maximum Execution Time Exceeded plugin requires that you complete the website backup process. </li>
</ul>
<p>WP Maximum Execution Time Exceeded is a very simple and effective plugin. If you’re receiving the message “Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded” or “Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded,” this plugin is for you.</p>
<p>A time out means that the process you would like to complete is simply taking longer that the program will allow. The clock needs to be set for a longer time period. To address the problem of maximum execution time exceeded, WordPress Codex offers two solutions. One, edit the .htaccess file and two, edit the php.ini file. This plugin uses the first of the two suggestions. WP Maximum Execution Time Exceeded will add and delete the necessary code to the .htaccess file.</p>
<p>When WP Maximum Execution Time Exceeded is activated after installation, the plugin will write to the .htaccess file. To delete the code, simply deactivate the plugin. There is no administration page.</p>
<p>You do not have to delete the files to remove the code. When you’re ready to rewrite the code to the .htaccess file, simply activate it. This allows you to test your process with a longer timeout. It’s that simple! And of course, this plugin creates no load on your website. It’s so light weight; you’ll never know it’s there.</p>
<ul>
<li>NOTE: All feedback and suggestions are welcome. I am constantly looking for ways to improve and upgrade WP Maximum Execution Time Exceeded. Please contact me with your ideas for a better plugin.</li>

WP Maximum Execution Time Exceeded

I know enough to edit .htaccess files but couldn't manage to extend the execution time without creating an Error 500.

One click and this did the job...and taught me how to do it manually in future ;o)

Perfect

Did you receive a message, "Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded?" Not anymore. Just Plug'n-Play. It's that easy!
