HTTP Status Codes

103 Early Hints

The server sends preliminary response headers to help the client start preloading resources. Learn how 103 Early Hints improves page load performance.

HTTP Status Codes

304 Not Modified

Cached response is still valid. Learn how 304 Not Modified improves performance through conditional requests and caching.

HTTP Headers

Accept-Encoding Header

Learn how Accept-Encoding tells servers which compression formats (gzip, br, deflate) your client supports to reduce bandwidth and speed up page loads.

HTTP Headers

Access-Control-Max-Age Header

Learn how Access-Control-Max-Age specifies how long browsers can cache CORS preflight results. Reduce preflight requests and improve cross-origin performance.

HTTP Headers

Cache-Control Header: Complete HTTP Caching Guide

Master the Cache-Control header. Learn how to control browser and CDN caching with max-age, no-cache, no-store, and other directives.

HTTP Headers

Content-Encoding

Learn how Content-Encoding specifies compression algorithms (gzip, br, deflate) used to encode response bodies. Reduce bandwidth and improve load times.

HTTP Headers

Early-Hints

Learn how 103 Early Hints allows servers to send preload hints while preparing the main response. Improve page load performance with early resource loading.

Guides

HTTP Headers and Caching: A Practical Guide

Master HTTP caching with Cache-Control, ETag, Last-Modified, and conditional request headers. Learn how to optimize performance with proper cache strategies.

HTTP Headers

Keep-Alive Header

Learn how the Keep-Alive header controls HTTP connection persistence and reuse. Reduce latency and improve performance by avoiding repeated TCP handshakes.

HTTP Headers

Link Header

Learn how the Link header provides resource hints and enables preloading of CSS, fonts, and scripts to improve page load performance and user experience.

HTTP Headers

Performance-Timing

Learn about Performance-Timing, a non-standard header for exposing server-side performance metrics to clients. Understand its use cases and alternatives.

HTTP Headers

Server-Timing Header

Learn how the Server-Timing header communicates server-side performance metrics to browsers. Analyze backend timing, database queries, and optimize performance.

HTTP Headers

Timing-Allow-Origin

Learn how the Timing-Allow-Origin header specifies which origins can access Resource Timing API data. Enable cross-origin performance monitoring securely.

HTTP Headers

X-Response-Time

Learn how the X-Response-Time header indicates server processing time in milliseconds. Useful for performance monitoring and debugging slow requests.
