HTTP status

Why it matters

Only pages that return HTTP 200 can be indexed. Error codes (4xx, 5xx) keep the page out of search and tell visitors something is broken.

How to fix it

1. Make sure the URL returns 200 OK.
2. Fix server errors (5xx) in your hosting or application logs.
3. For moved pages use a 301 redirect; for removed pages a 404 or 410 is correct.
