Check the HTTP status code returned by any URL. Use our free HTTP Status Code Checker to detect redirects, errors, and server responses in real time.

When a browser or tool tries to load a webpage, the server returns an HTTP status code — like 200 OK, 404 Not Found, or 301 Moved Permanently. These codes are vital for understanding how a website behaves behind the scenes.

The HTTP Status Code Checker helps you quickly test the HTTP response code of any web address. Whether you're debugging a redirect, checking for broken links, or analyzing SEO issues, this tool delivers instant clarity on how a server is responding.

What Is an HTTP Status Code?

An HTTP status code is a standard three-digit code returned by a web server to indicate the result of a request. Some common codes include:

• 200 OK – Page loaded successfully
• 301 Moved Permanently – The page has been permanently redirected
• 302 Found – Temporary redirect
• 404 Not Found – The page doesn't exist
• 500 Internal Server Error – Server encountered an issue

These codes help search engines, browsers, and tools understand how to handle each request.

Why Use an HTTP Status Code Checker?

Status codes affect everything from SEO to user experience. The HTTP Status Code Checker helps you:

• Detect broken pages and links
• Identify redirects (301, 302) and redirect chains
• Troubleshoot server or CMS configuration issues
• Monitor landing page health for marketing campaigns
• Confirm proper responses from APIs or services

It’s an essential tool for developers, marketers, sysadmins, and anyone managing web infrastructure.
