HTTP Status Checker




About HTTP status codes

Every HTTP response starts with a three-digit status code. This tool fetches any URL you give it and shows not only the final code but every hop in the redirect chain — a common cause of slow load times and SEO trouble.

Status code families

  • 2xx — success. 200 OK is the vast majority.
  • 3xx — redirect. 301 permanent, 302/307 temporary. Each redirect adds round-trip latency.
  • 4xx — client error. 404 missing, 403 forbidden, 429 rate-limited.
  • 5xx — server error. 500 generic, 502/503/504 upstream issues.

FAQ

Why do you follow up to 10 redirects? More than ~5 redirects signals a loop or misconfiguration. 10 is a safe cap.

Why is HTTPS → HTTP → HTTPS bad? Mixed scheme redirects downgrade users to insecure connections, get blocked by HSTS, and drop SEO signals.

Can I check an intranet URL? No. The scan runs from our public server; it cannot reach private IPs.
