Every request for content will generate an HTTP status code. This status code describes how an edge server or origin server handled the request. For example, 2xx status codes indicate that the request was successfully served to a client, while a 4xx status code indicates that an error took place.
The Hits report allows you to view the frequency of each status code as a percentage of total requests. This report is based on traffic statistics tracked by our edge servers.
The data that was used to generate the pie chart can be viewed directly below it. The following information will be reported for each status code: a description of the status code, the total number of hits generated by that status code, and the percentage of total hits for which it was returned.
