Requests, responses and status codes

Start here

You've seen a page that says 404 Not Found. That number wasn't random. The server was telling your browser exactly what went wrong.

Browsers and servers talk using a set of rules called HTTP. Every request gets a response, and every response starts with a number that sums it up.

Once you can read those numbers, you can work out why a page won't load.
