What does HTTP 304 mean?

The cached copy of the resource is still valid so no body is sent.

Common causes and when you see it

Returned when a conditional request (If-None-Match or If-Modified-Since) matches.

How to fix or handle it

Make sure ETag and Last-Modified are stable so caching works.

Test it yourself

Send a request with the online API tester, inspect the response with the HTTP header checker, or host an endpoint that returns 304 with the mock API generator to see how your app reacts.
