HTTP Status Code Checker

Every URL on the internet returns an HTTP status code with every request — a three-digit number that communicates whether a page loaded successfully, has been redirected, was not found, or encountered a server error. These codes are critical for SEO because errors and unresolved redirect chains can prevent pages from being indexed, harm user experience, and waste crawl budget. The HTTP Status Code Checker retrieves the current status code for any URL in one click, giving you an immediate diagnostic snapshot.

How It Works

Enter any URL into the input field and click Check. The tool sends a request to that URL and reports back the HTTP status code returned by the server — such as 200 (OK), 301 (Moved Permanently), 302 (Found / Temporary Redirect), 404 (Not Found), or 500 (Internal Server Error) — along with the final destination URL if a redirect was detected.
