About HTTP Status Checker

A URL status and HTTP response checker: paste any link and see the status code it returns, the full set of response headers, every redirect hop along the way, and how long the server took to answer. Use it to confirm a 301 points where you intended after a site migration, to track down the 404s behind a broken internal link, or to check that an API endpoint is responding before you ship a release.

Key Features

Reports the exact HTTP status code and status message, from 1xx through 5xx
Follows the full redirect chain and lists every hop with its own status code
Shows all response headers, including content-type, cache-control and server, with one-click copy
Measures response time and connection timing so a slow origin is visible
Detects client-side redirects from meta refresh tags and JavaScript
Lets you follow redirects automatically or stop at the first response
Copies or shares the URL, the headers, or the complete result set
Auto-saves past checks so you can compare a URL before and after a deploy

Use Cases

Verifying that a .com domain migration kept its 301s pointing at the right pages
Finding the 404s behind broken internal links flagged in a Search Console report
Checking that an API endpoint in us-east-1 answers correctly before a release goes out
Auditing redirect chains for SEO, where every extra hop costs crawl budget and load time
Confirming HTTPS serves correctly instead of falling back to an insecure HTTP response
Debugging a CDN or load balancer that returns a different status code than the origin

How do I check a URL's redirect chain?

Paste the URL and leave the follow-redirects option enabled. The checker lists each hop in order with the status code it returned, so a 301 that lands on a 302 before reaching a 200 shows up as three separate rows rather than a single result. Keep permanent moves on one 301 instead of a chain: every extra hop adds latency, and a chain longer than about five hops dilutes the link equity passed through it. A 302 where you meant a 301 is the most common thing this turns up.
