Reference HTTP status codes
HTTP status codes are the standard way a server reports the result of a request, and knowing them is essential for anyone working with the web. This tool lists the status codes with explanations, so you can look up what a code means and why it was returned.
Why understanding codes matters
A status code is the first clue when something goes wrong: a 500 points at the server, a 403 at permissions, a 301 at a redirect. Reading the code correctly saves time that would otherwise go into guessing. The codes are grouped into informational, success, redirection, client error and server error classes, and understanding both the class and the specific code turns an opaque number into a clear signal about what happened and where to look next.
Understand the response
It runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you paste is uploaded and the result is yours to copy straight into a project. Because it works client-side, you can use it on private code and data without anything leaving your machine.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a status code tell me?
The result of an HTTP request: whether it succeeded, was redirected, or failed, and if it failed, whether the problem was the client or the server.
How are the codes grouped?
Into informational (1xx), success (2xx), redirection (3xx), client error (4xx) and server error (5xx) classes, which indicate the nature of the response.
What does a 403 mean?
Forbidden: the server understood the request but refuses to authorise it, typically a permissions problem. The reference explains each code.
Why look up a status code?
Because reading it correctly points you to the cause, the server, permissions, a redirect, saving time otherwise spent guessing.
Is it available offline?
Yes. The reference runs entirely in your browser.
