HTTP Status Code Checker

Check HTTP Status Codes from URLs


HTTP Status Code Checker

HTTP Status Code Checker is a simple tool that lets you find out the exact response status code returned by any URL. You enter a link, click Check Status, and the tool fetches the HTTP response to show whether the page is working, redirected, missing, or blocked.

Website owners, SEOs, developers, and system admins frequently use status code checkers to test website health, diagnose errors, and verify proper server behavior.

Why You Need an HTTP Status Code Checker

HTTP status codes reveal the condition of a webpage. Checking them helps you:

• Confirm if a page is online or down
 • Detect redirects (301, 302, 307, 308)
 • Identify errors such as 404 (Not Found) or 500 (Server Error)
 • Validate website migrations and URL changes
 • Improve SEO by fixing broken or redirected links
 • Diagnose server, DNS, or security issues
 • Monitor site performance and user experience

Common Use Cases

• Testing if a URL loads correctly
 • Checking for broken links on a website
 • Verifying redirect rules after moving content
 • Troubleshooting failed API calls
 • Ensuring new pages return the correct status code
 • Checking server response after deployment
 • Inspecting how a website responds to crawlers

  1. Enter the URL you want to check.
  2. Click the “Check Status” button.

Examples of common status codes:
