Understanding Of the Server Status Checker results (HTTP Server Status Codes)

What is HTTP Protocol?

HTTP is a protocol. Its full name is Hypertext Transfer Protocol. There are some rules for communication on the Internet and with the help of those rules all connections are possible and these rules are called protocols. 

This protocol helps in accessing the content from the web server to the user's computer. When an internet user demands any web page, then his request goes to that web server and then that web server sends that web page from its stored data to the browser of that user's computer, then HTTP Protocol is used for all these. It is needed so that communication between a user and a web server can be established properly.

What is HTTP Status Code?

HTTP Status Code is a 3 digit code, which is sent to the web browser by the server of a website. Whenever you open a website, your browser sends a request to the server of that website and then that server responds to the browser with a 3 digit code called HTTP Status Code.

HTTP Status Codes are a type of response codes that indicate a specific error or message. There are 5 standard categories of these HTTP Status Codes and there are 3 numbers digits in this code. Out of which the first number represents any one class out of 5 Standard Classes. So let's understand them in detail and in easy language.

Language or language was the greatest invention of man. Because of language, we humans could move ahead of other animals, because we can learn from the mistakes of humans born before us due to our language. When the caveman learned how to make fire, we didn't have to do it again. So language is important but hint is older than language. Language is artificial, we have made it, but gestures are natural.

Every animal communicates with each other by gestures, even two different types of animals can communicate by gestures. If you ever meet a dog while going on the road, you bend down towards the road and throw your hand towards the dog, it will automatically run away. He will not wait to see the stone in your hand because he knows that bending down means you have picked up the stone and will hit him now.

The gesture is not detailed, it is quick, it explains things immediately, so that you get ready for what is to come. When you used to misbehave in front of the guest who came home, in childhood, father's eyes used to tell what was going to happen next. Gestures are necessary because sometimes we do not have time to say the whole thing. These HTTP Status Codes are also signals between computers.

HTTP stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol which acts as a request response protocol. When the client sends a request to show this page, the server has to respond in return. Now the server which will give the response will have a Status Code which will tell what happened to the request made by the client, what it has done and along with it there will be information.

If you want to see example.com on your browser then you search example.com on the browser and click on that link. After clicking, a request goes from your browser to the server of example.com. Example.com's server will respond to the request, in this response there will be a Status Code which will tell that yes the request has been received and it is being processed. These Status Codes are already fixed, they mean the same for all computers. They are so small that their transfer does not take any time, does not require any special bandwidth and computers come to know, the browser comes to know that now the work is going to be done.

Types of HTTP Server Status Codes

There are 499 types of HTTP Status Code. We will see about some status codes which are necessary from the point of view of SEO.

1xx = 100-199

This type of HTTP status code is called informational status code because it means that the server has received the request from the client and the server is processing the request further.

2xx = 200-299

This type of HTTP Status Code is called successful status code because this code tells that the request of the client or internet user has been successfully completed and the web server has completed the request of the client without any error.

3xx = 300-399

These HTTP status codes show redirection. This status code is used when a URL redirects to another web page.

4xx = 400-499

This type of http status codes tells the error of the client side. When the client removes any of its web page, this error is called 404 not found or the server is unable to fulfill the request due to other errors of the client, then this status code is used.

5xx = 500-599

This http status code shows server side errors. Due to any kind of error in the web server, the request of the client is not fulfilled by the server, then this status code is used.
