server response

What systems return

A server response is what a computer server sends back after receiving a request—typically a webpage, data, or an error message.

The term appears in web development and networking contexts: The page loaded slowly due to a delayed server response.

Response codes like 404 (not found) or 500 (server error) indicate what happened with the request.
