I ran into this issue today. When visiting the site, we'd get a 404 error. What we learned was that the user had been "cleaning up the site" and had deleted the site pages folder which contained the home.aspx page. We were still able to navigate to other parts of the site (e.g by going to https://<domain>.sharepoint.com/sites/<sitename>/SitePages/Forms/ByAuthor.aspx)
From there we could access the recycle bin, restore the site pages folder, right click home.aspx and make it the homepage again and everything was back to normal.
