Please consider <a href="https://lhero.org/portfolio/lh-404s-for-static-resources/" rel="nofollow ugc">making a donation</a>.I wanted a simple lightweight to speed up my website by preventing wordpress fully booting up when a page request for a static resource is made that results in a 404 not found.

LH 404s for static resources

Add simple 404 page for static files. Meaning that full page requests are not made if things like images or scripts do not exist.

This plugin dynamically creates pages for the most common error codes. It generates page templates for each error code from within your themes current page.php template file and assigns each new page template to the appropriate error page. It then updates your HTACCESS file with the correct references to these new pages.
Requires WordPress 3.0 +
