What are HTTP status codes & how they work

Reading the response codes behind every request

An HTTP status code is the three-digit number a server returns with every response to tell the client what happened. 200 means success, 301 and302 are redirects, 404 means not found, and 5xx codes signal server errors. Reading these codes is the fastest way to diagnose broken links, redirect chains, and outages.

This checker sends a request to each URL you provide and reports the exact status code, the full redirect chain, and the response time. It's built for both one-off checks and batch audits, so you can validate a whole list of URLs — after a migration, a redirect change, or an SEO cleanup — in a single run.

3xx redirect
301 (permanent) and 302 (temporary) tell clients the resource moved. Long redirect chains slow pages and dilute SEO.
4xx client error
404 not found, 403 forbidden, 410 gone — the request reached the server but the resource isn't available.
5xx server error
500, 502, 503 — the server failed to fulfil a valid request. Usually an application or infrastructure problem.

2xx means success, 3xx means redirection, 4xx means a client error (like a bad or missing URL), and 5xx means a server error. The first digit tells you the category at a glance.

Each hop in a redirect chain adds latency and can dilute SEO value. A 301 → 301 → 200 chain should usually be flattened to a single 301 straight to the final URL.

A 301 is a permanent redirect — search engines transfer ranking to the new URL. A 302 is temporary — the original URL keeps its ranking. Using the wrong one is a common SEO mistake.

Yes. Switch to the multiple-URLs mode and paste a list of up to 10; the tool checks each one and returns its status code, redirects, and response time in a single batch.

HEAD is the default because it returns headers without downloading the body, so it's faster and lighter on the target server. Switch to GET if a server rejects or mis-handles HEAD requests — some CDNs and app servers answer the two differently.

A 5xx status means the server encountered an error handling an otherwise-valid request — for example a crashed application (500), an overloaded upstream (502/504), or maintenance (503). These need server-side investigation.
