What HTTP 401 means generally

Authentication is required and has failed or has not been provided.

HTTP 401 Unauthorized means the request lacks valid authentication credentials. Despite the name, it's about authentication (who are you?), not authorisation (what can you do?). The server should include a WWW-Authenticate header indicating the required authentication scheme.

Other common causes of 401

• Missing authentication token
• Expired JWT or session
• Invalid API key
• Incorrect username/password

SEO impact

Content behind authentication is not indexed. Ensure public pages don't require authentication.

How to catch it next time

LemWatch detects when public pages unexpectedly return 401, which could indicate a misconfigured authentication layer.
