HTTP Status Checker — free online tool

Confirm whether a public URL returns 200, 301, 404, or another status via our first-party checker—handy after migrations and CDN changes.

When to use HTTP Status Checker

Verify redirects and 404s after a site migration or DNS change.

Saves opening a terminal or a separate DNS client for one-off checks.

What HTTP Status Checker does not do

Sees the URL like a third-party fetch. Not your server access log and not a full Lighthouse audit.

How to use HTTP Status Checker

  1. Type a public https:// URL into HTTP Status Checker.
  2. Submit—the page queries metadata via the configured public helper.
  3. Read status code, redirects, and headers returned in the output.
  4. 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.

Example

Check https://example.com after a migration to confirm 301 → https and a final 200.

Limitations

Follows redirects within limits. Some hosts block our fetch. Timeouts return an error, not a fake 200.

Privacy & data

Requests go from your browser to Webtoolshop’s own API (or self-hosted datasets). We do not sell that input. Still avoid secrets and internal-only hostnames.

Give me a concrete example for the HTTP Status Checker.

Check https://example.com after a migration to confirm 301 → https and a final 200.

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.

HTTP Status Checker

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.
