What Is an HTTP Status Code Checker?

An HTTP status code checker requests web addresses and reports the status code each server answers with. Every time a browser or search engine asks for a page, the server replies with a three-digit code. It tells you whether the page was delivered, moved, missing or broken.

Checking one address is easy in a browser, but checking dozens is slow. This HTTP status code checker tests up to 20 URLs at the same time and shows the results in one table, so you can audit a list of links, a sitemap sample or a set of old pages after a migration.

How to Use This Tool

  1. Paste your URLs into the box, one per line. Addresses without http get https:// added for you.
  2. Choose how to request them: as a desktop browser, a phone, Googlebot or Bingbot.
  3. Press Check status codes.
  4. Read the table: status, redirect target, content type and response time for each address.

The Status Code Families

CodeMeaningWhat to do
200OK. The page was delivered.Nothing. This is the goal.
301, 308Moved permanently.Update links to the new address.
302, 307Moved temporarily.Check that the move really is temporary.
403Forbidden. Access is refused.Check permissions, or whether the site blocks automated requests.
404Not found.Fix the link, restore the page or add a redirect.
410Gone for good.Use it for pages you removed on purpose.
429Too many requests.Wait, then try again with fewer URLs.
500, 502, 503Server errors.Check the server and its logs.

Every code is defined in RFC 9110, which defines every status code.

When to Run an HTTP Status Code Checker

  • After a site move. Test the old addresses to confirm each one redirects to the right new page.
  • Before a campaign. Make sure every landing page answers with 200.
  • During an SEO audit. Find 404 and 5xx pages that waste crawl budget and frustrate visitors.
  • When you suspect cloaking. Compare the answer for a normal browser with the answer for Googlebot.

Good to Know

The tool requests each address once and does not follow redirects, so you see the code that was really sent. To trace a full chain with timing, use the redirect tracing tool. To read all response headers of one page, use the header viewer. If a whole site seems down, test it with the up or down checker.

Some servers answer automated tools with 403 or 429 while a browser works fine. Treat those as a hint to check manually and not as proof that the page is broken.

Frequently Asked Questions

It is a three-digit number a server sends with every response. The first digit shows the class: 2 for success, 3 for redirect, 4 for a client error such as a missing page, and 5 for a server error.
Both mean the page is gone. 404 says it was not found, perhaps by mistake, and 410 says it was removed on purpose. Search engines drop a 410 page a little faster.
It shows the first answer of each address so you can see the code that was really sent. To follow a whole chain, use the redirect checker.
The site may block automated requests or limit how fast they arrive. Try fewer URLs at once, or check the page in a browser too.
