308HTTP

HTTP 308 Permanent Redirect

A permanent redirect that, unlike 301, guarantees the method and body are kept.

ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTSBrowser

Chrome: This page isn’t working — example.com redirected you too many times. ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

The page keeps redirecting to itself or in a loop, so the browser gives up after about 20 redirects.

The page isn’t redirecting properlyBrowser

Firefox: The page isn’t redirecting properly — Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request in a way that will never complete

Firefox's wording for a redirect loop (Chrome calls it ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS).

Two steps away (29)

401HTTP

HTTP 401 Unauthorized

The request has no valid authentication credentials — you need to log in or send a valid token.

SyntaxError: JSONJavaScript

SyntaxError: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0

`JSON.parse()` / `response.json()` received something that isn’t JSON — very often an HTML error page.

200HTTP

103HTTP

HTTP 103 Early Hints

An interim response that sends Link headers early so the browser can preload CSS, fonts or scripts while the server is still buil…

ERR_CACHE_MISSBrowser

ERR_CACHE_MISS: Confirm Form Resubmission

You pressed Back/Refresh on a page that was the result of a form POST, so the browser asks before sending the form again.

Mixed ContentAPI

Mixed Content: The page was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure resource

An HTTPS page tried to load a script, API or image over plain HTTP, and the browser blocked (or warned about) it.

CLEARTEXTAndroid

CLEARTEXT communication to host not permitted by network security policy

Android 9+ blocks plain `http://` requests by default; the app tried to call a non-HTTPS URL.

ATSiOS

App Transport Security has blocked a cleartext HTTP resource load

iOS blocked an `http://` request (or a weak-TLS HTTPS one) because App Transport Security requires secure connections.

CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILEDAPI

SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED / unable to get local issuer certificate

The client couldn’t verify the server’s TLS certificate chain, so it refused the HTTPS connection.

Git SSL certificate problemGit

fatal: unable to access 'https://…': SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate

Git doesn’t trust the HTTPS server’s certificate — corporate proxy, self-hosted Git with an internal CA, or outdated CA bundle.

PKIX path building failedJava

javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: PKIX path building failed: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

Java doesn’t trust the server’s certificate chain (self-signed, corporate proxy CA, or missing intermediate).

Cookies are blockedWordPress

WordPress login: Error: Cookies are blocked or not supported by your browser. You must enable cookies to use WordPress.

WordPress’s test cookie wasn’t returned on login — often a siteurl/home or domain mismatch, caching of wp-login.php, or headers a…

The preview could not be loadedWordPress

Elementor: The preview could not be loaded / Server Error 500 / Preview Debug

Elementor’s editor couldn’t load the page preview in its iframe — PHP errors, memory limits, mixed URLs, or plugin conflicts.

404HTTP

HTTP 404 Not Found

The server can’t find anything at the requested URL.

410HTTP

HTTP 410 Gone

The resource used to exist but was intentionally and permanently removed, with no forwarding address.

304HTTP

HTTP 304 Not Modified

The cached copy is still valid, so the server sends no body and the client reuses its cache.

ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALIDJavaScript

NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID (Your connection is not private)

The site’s certificate isn’t signed by a CA the browser trusts — self-signed, missing intermediates, or intercepted by a proxy.

ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALIDJavaScript

NET::ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID (certificate expired)

The site’s certificate has expired (or isn’t valid yet) — or the device clock is wrong.

ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERRORJavaScript

ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR (This site can't provide a secure connection)

The browser couldn’t negotiate TLS — the server sent an invalid response, often plain HTTP on the HTTPS port.

ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSEBrowser

Chrome: This page isn’t working — example.com didn’t send any data. ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE

The server accepted the connection but closed it without sending any HTTP response — a crash, timeout or misconfigured proxy on t…

ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERRORBrowser

Chrome: This page isn’t working — example.com is unable to handle this request. ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR

The HTTP/2 connection broke a protocol rule — a server, proxy or CDN sent an invalid or oversized frame/header, or closed the str…

net::ERR_CONTENT_LENGTH_MISMATCHBrowser

Chrome DevTools: net::ERR_CONTENT_LENGTH_MISMATCH — body shorter than the Content-Length header

The server promised a number of bytes in `Content-Length` and sent a different number, so Chrome treats the download as corrupted.

SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUERBrowser

Firefox: Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead — SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER (certificate not trusted)

Firefox does not trust the authority that issued the site's certificate — a self-signed certificate, a missing intermediate, or a…

SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAPBrowser

Firefox: Secure Connection Failed — SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP (no common cipher)

Firefox and the server share no TLS cipher suite, so the secure handshake cannot even start.

Server not foundBrowser

Firefox: Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site. / Server not found (DNS_PROBE or NS_ERROR_UNKNOWN_HOST)

Firefox could not resolve the website’s hostname to an IP address — a typo, a DNS problem or no internet.
