Check the HTTP status code, full redirect chain and response of any URL — one at a time, or in bulk (up to 25 URLs at once). A fast bulk URL HTTP status code checker.
What is a URL status code checker?
A URL status code checker is a free tool that requests any URL and reports its HTTP status code, redirect chain, response time and content type. It works as a URL response code checker for one URL — or a bulk URL HTTP status code checker for many at once.
Bulk HTTP status code checking
Switch to Bulk URLs, paste up to 25 URLs (one per line), and get a colour-coded table of status codes in one run. It's the quickest way to check URL status codes across a migration, a redirect map, or a list of pages — and instantly spot 404s and broken redirects.
What the status codes mean
2xx — success (200 OK).
3xx — redirect (301 permanent, 302 temporary).
4xx — client error (404 not found, 403 forbidden).
5xx — server error (500, 503).
Why status codes matter for SEO
Search engines use status codes to decide what to crawl and index. 404s waste crawl budget, a 302 used where a 301 belongs can stop link equity passing, and 5xx errors can drop pages from the index. Checking them — especially in bulk after a site change — keeps your site healthy.
How to use the URL status code checker
Enter a single URL, or switch to Bulk URLs and paste a list.
Click “Check” — we request each URL and follow its redirects.
Review the status code, redirect chain, and final URL for each.
A URL status code checker is a free tool that requests any URL and reports its HTTP status code (200, 301, 404, 500, etc.), the full redirect chain, response time, and content type. It works as a URL response code checker for a single URL or as a bulk URL HTTP status code checker for many at once.
Switch to the Bulk URLs tab, paste up to 25 URLs (one per line), and run it. We request each URL, follow its redirects, and return a table of status codes — the fastest way to bulk-check HTTP status codes and spot 404s or redirect issues across many pages.
2xx means success (200 OK), 3xx is a redirect (301 permanent, 302 temporary), 4xx is a client error (404 not found, 403 forbidden), and 5xx is a server error (500, 503). The checker colour-codes each and shows the redirect chain so you can see where a URL ends up.
Yes. It follows each hop and shows the full redirect chain with every intermediate status and Location, plus the final URL and status. Long redirect chains (more than 3 hops) are flagged because they slow page loads and dilute link equity.
Search engines use status codes to decide what to crawl and index. 404s waste crawl budget and frustrate users, 302s used where a 301 belongs can prevent link equity from passing, and 5xx errors can drop pages from the index. Checking them keeps your site healthy.
