What are Response Codes?
Response codes are also known as HTTP status codes. These are three-digit codes that the server uses to respond to a client’s request.
In simple terms, when you make a request using your web browser, the server receives the request and will respond with a three-digit HTTP code. This code is a response code.
There are 5 categories of response codes.
1xx informational responses (100 – 199)
2xx successful (200 – 299)
3xx redirection (300 – 399)
4xx client error (400 – 499)
5xx server error (500 – 599)
Each code performs a specific function. It tells the browser about the status of the request whether it’s successful or failed. This entire process is significant for the proper functioning of the web.
