HTTP Status Checker — free online tool
Confirm whether a URL returns 200, 301, or 404 through a public metadata proxy—handy after migrations.
Saves opening a terminal or a separate DNS client for one-off checks.
How to use HTTP Status Checker
- Type a public https:// URL into HTTP Status Checker.
- Submit—the page queries metadata via the configured public helper.
- Read status code, redirects, and headers returned in the output.
- Retry without VPN if corporate networks block the lookup service.
Practical tips
- Confirm 301 vs 302 after a migration—permanent redirects pass more ranking signal.
- A 200 here but errors in your browser usually means a client-side or auth issue.
- VPNs, firewalls, and the proxy’s location can change what status you see.
Limitations
HTTP Status Checker sees URLs the same way a third-party proxy would. VPNs, firewalls, and ad blockers can change status codes compared with your server logs.
Privacy & data
Queries go from your browser to public APIs (DNS, HTTP metadata, translation, prayer times, etc.). Webtoolshop does not log them on our static hosting, but those services may record requests like any website you visit. Avoid internal URLs and secrets.
Frequently asked questions about HTTP Status Checker
Is the HTTP Status Checker free on Webtoolshop?
Yes. There is no sign-in and no paywall on this page. We may show advertising on some layouts to cover hosting.
Can I use the HTTP Status Checker on a phone?
Yes for light tasks. Very long pasted text, huge images, or multi-megabyte PDFs are easier on a laptop with more memory.
Why might the HTTP Status Checker show a different result than my terminal?
Public APIs use their own caches, rate limits, and data sources. VPNs, ad blockers, and corporate DNS can also change what you see compared with a server-side dig or whois command.

Uses Microlink metadata in the browser (read-only) so we can read HTTP status and headers when a direct page fetch would be blocked by CORS.
