I unironically use this website everytime I forget a status code at work. The name is instantly memorable, it loads immediately, and I can ctrl-f it. It's basically muscle memory at this point.

I love how there is a Catalan version too! I guess it’s probably a requirement for getting the .cat domain.

404 should have been the cat footprints in the concrete but without the cat.

Is the picture for 303 meant to be the device from Heisenberg’s thought experiment?

Do any browsers recognize a 420 response code?

This is fun because it’s pre-AI and most of the pics are real. Doing this nowadays would be a meh.

HTTP 000: HTTP not found. HTTPS CA TLS only.<p>That said, at least they have a broad cipher set support and their HTTPS-only implemetation does work in older browsers and systems. That's nice. But HTTP+HTTPS would be better.
