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.
