FAQ
Answers to common questions about this tool.
What is an HTTP status code?
An HTTP status code is the response a website gives when a browser or tool requests a page. For example, 200 usually means the page loaded, 301 means it redirected, and 404 means the page was not found.
Why would I check a URL’s status code?
You may want to check a URL after changing a page, setting up redirects, fixing broken links, moving a website, or checking whether a page is available to visitors and search engines.
Can this tool show redirects?
Yes. The tool shows the redirect path when a URL moves through one or more redirects before reaching the final page.
Is this useful for SEO?
Yes. HTTP status codes are useful for spotting broken pages, redirect problems, accidental 404s, and pages that may not be reachable by search engines.
Why use a free online HTTP status checker?
A free online status checker is a quick way to test a URL without opening developer tools or running command-line requests.
It helps with broken-link checks, redirect QA, site migrations, and launch verification from one simple page. You can test a URL, inspect each redirect hop, and confirm the final response code before relying on that link.
