Overview
Many errors encountered while browsing the internet are unrelated to your Maverix internet service. The specific error message you receive can provide insight into the issue and possible solutions.
Internet Response Codes
Error messages are often accompanied by a number, known as an internet response code. These codes indicate the status of your request to access a webpage.
Response Code Categories:
100 series – Informational responses
200 series – Successful responses
300 series – Redirection messages
400 series – Client-side errors
500 series – Server-side errors
Most browser errors originate from the 400 and 500 series, which indicate client or server issues. Below are common errors and how to resolve them.
