200 OK

200 OK status in TYPO3

What is the 200 OK status?

The 200 OK status code in TYPO3 is an HTTP response code that indicates that a request to the server was successful. When a user or a web crawler requests a web page or a resource, a 200 OK status means that the server has successfully found the requested content and returned it without errors.

Why is 200 OK important?

For TYPO3 site administrators, it is important for both search engines and users that pages return a 200 OK status. When a page has this status, it is accessible for indexing, which helps improve your site's visibility in search engine results. A smooth user experience is also important: when users click on links that return 200 OK, they can view the content without any problems, which reduces the bounce rate and keeps users engaged.

How to check the 200 OK status in TYPO3

To check if your TYPO3 pages are returning 200 OK status, you can:

  1. Use TYPO3 Tools: Use TYPO3's built-in tools to check the link status and validate pages regularly.
  2. Third party checkers: Use external tools such as Google Search Console to identify pages that do not return 200 OK.
  3. Manual validation: Visit important URLs directly to ensure they are loading correctly.
  4. Check logs: Check the TYPO3 logs for HTTP status codes to identify errors on important pages.

Common problems with 200 OK status

Various issues can cause pages to not return a 200 OK status:

  • Broken links: Outdated or incorrect links can lead to errors. Use TYPO3's Link Validator to find and correct these links.
  • Incorrect URLs: Make sure that your URLs are configured correctly in TYPO3 to avoid loading problems.
  • Missing content: If a file or page has been removed, it will not return a 200 OK. Set up 301 redirects for moved pages to get traffic and SEO value.
  • Cache issues: Clearing TYPO3's cache can fix issues with pages not loading correctly.

Conclusion

The 200 OK status is an important indicator that your TYPO3 website is working well. It ensures that content is accessible and improves search engine optimization. Checking this status regularly, using TYPO3 tools, and managing redirects will help maintain a healthy website that provides a good experience for both users and search engines.
