1xx Informational

103 Early Hints

Preliminary headers — usually `Link: rel=preload` — sent before the real response so the browser can start fetching assets.

What causes it

  • A server or CDN sending resource hints while the origin is still generating the page.

How to fix it

  • Nothing to fix. If hints are ignored, check the client supports them and that no intermediary is buffering the response.
