Home HTTP Status Codes 103 Early Hints

103 Early Hints

Informational

Used to return some response headers before final HTTP message.

Explanation

The 103 (Early Hints) status code indicates to the client that the server is likely to send a final response with the headers included in the informational response. This allows the client to prepare for the final response, for example by pre-loading resources, while the server prepares that response.

This is particularly useful for implementing server push features with HTTP/2, allowing a server to suggest resources the client might want to pre-fetch.

Example Response

HTTP/1.1 103 Early Hints
Link: </style.css>; rel=preload; as=style
Link: </script.js>; rel=preload; as=script
