Code 200
HTTP status code 200 (OK) is the standard response for a successful HTTP request, indicating that the server has found and returned the requested resource without any errors. It is the expected response for all properly functioning web pages and is a prerequisite for Googlebot to crawl and index a page.
HTTP status codes are audited using Screaming Frog SEO Spider, Ahrefs Site Audit, and Google Search Console's Coverage report, which distinguishes between indexed pages, redirects, and error pages. Monitoring 200 responses ensures that important pages remain accessible to both users and crawlers.
