# `setResponseStatus`

Nuxt provides composables and utilities for first-class server-side-rendering support.

`setResponseStatus` sets the statusCode (and optionally the statusMessage) of the response.

`setResponseStatus` can only be called within component setup functions, plugins, and route middleware.

```js
// Set the status code to 404 for a custom 404 page
setResponseStatus(404)

// Set the status message as well
setResponseStatus(404, 'Page Not Found')
```

::alert{icon=👉}
In the browser, `setResponseStatus` will have no effect.
