409 Conflict

How to fix it

Inspect server logs, fix the conflicting condition, and retry. Add a regression test if it recurs.

Sibling checks in this category

• 404 Not Found - The page returns 404. Search engines drop it from the index and inbound links waste their authority.

• 4xx client error - The page returned a 4xx response other than 403/404/409. The URL is unreachable for crawlers.
• 500 Internal Server Error - The server crashed handling this URL. Repeated 500s deindex the page over time.
