Free Status Code Checker Tool

Enter any URL and instantly see the HTTP status code with a clear explanation of what it means.

What the status code checker shows

Use this free tool to check the first HTTP response for any public URL. It helps you quickly confirm whether a page is reachable, redirecting, missing, blocked, or failing.

HTTP status code

See the exact response code returned by the server, such as 200, 301, 404, or 500.

Simple explanation

Get a plain-language note that explains what the code usually means for users and crawlers.

Redirect target

When the server sends a redirect, the tool shows the destination so you can verify it is intentional.

Why HTTP status codes matter for SEO

Search engines need reachable URLs

A page that returns 200 can be crawled and evaluated. A page that returns 404, 403, or 5xx may be ignored or treated as unreliable.

Redirects shape indexing signals

301 and 308 redirects usually pass users and search engines to a new permanent URL, while temporary redirects should be used with more care.

Broken responses hurt user experience

Status errors create dead ends in navigation, campaigns, internal links, and crawl paths. Checking them early prevents avoidable regressions.

How to use the result

1

200 responses

The URL is available. Continue by reviewing page title, meta description, canonical, and indexing signals.

2

3xx responses

Confirm the redirect destination is correct and direct. Long chains can waste crawl budget and slow visitors down.

3

4xx or 5xx responses

Fix broken links, permissions, or server issues before relying on the URL in search, ads, or internal navigation.

Find status code issues across the full site

The free checker tests one URL at a time. The full platform crawls your site, groups status code issues, and helps you prioritize fixes across every important page.
