Informational
4 codesProvisional responses indicating the request was received and processing is continuing. Rarely seen in everyday redirect chains.
Success
10 codesThe request was successfully received, understood, and accepted. A 200 at the end of a redirect chain means you've reached the final destination.
Redirection
9 codesThe backbone of URL shorteners. Each 3xx tells the browser to look for the resource at a different URL, forming the hops you see in a redirect chain.
Client Errors
29 codesThe request itself has a problem — a bad URL, missing authentication, or a resource that no longer exists. A 4xx at the end of a chain means the destination has an issue.
Server Errors
13 codesThe server failed to fulfil a valid request. These are problems on the destination server's side — not with the URL itself.
