Understanding HTTP Status Codes

HTTP status codes are three-digit numbers that indicate the result of an HTTP request. They are categorized as follows:
  • 1xx (Informational): The request was received, continuing process.
  • 2xx (Successful): The request was successfully received, understood, and accepted.
  • 3xx (Redirection): Further action needs to be taken in order to complete the request.
  • 4xx (Client Error): The request contains incorrect syntax or cannot be fulfilled.
  • 5xx (Server Error): The server failed to fulfill an apparently valid request.

Common HTTP Status Codes

  • 200: OK - The request has succeeded.
  • 404: Not Found - The requested resource is not available.
  • 503: Service Unavailable - The server is currently unable to handle the request due to a temporary overload or maintenance.

Understanding Redirects

  • 301 Redirect: This means that the resource requested has been permanently moved to a new URL, and the search engine and browsers should update their records.
  • 302 Redirect: This is a temporary redirect, indicating that the resource is available for the time being but might be located elsewhere in the future.
