Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the free online http status code lookup.

It is a three digit number in the response that tells the client how the request was handled, grouped into the 1xx to 5xx classes.
The server understood the request but could not find that resource, which usually means a mistyped URL or a page that was removed.
A 401 means you are not authenticated yet, while a 403 means you are authenticated but not allowed to touch that resource.
Anything in the 4xx class points at the request or the client, while the 5xx class points at a fault on the server side.
Usually not. Redirect codes tell the client to request the same resource at another URL, which is normal for a moved page.
Type part of the name, such as not found or timeout, into the search box and the matching codes are listed straight away.
