Bulk HTTP Status Checker
Paste URLs — we’ll request each one, follow redirects, and report initial status, final status, final URL, hops, and timing.

How to interpret results
Use this to spot broken URLs, redirects, and server errors.
- OK final status is 2xx
- Warning redirects (3xx) or unusual behavior
- Error 4xx/5xx, loops, timeouts, DNS/TLS issues
Bulk HTTP status checker: validate URLs, redirects, and response codes
A bulk HTTP status checker helps you audit a list of URLs and quickly find broken pages, redirect chains, and server errors. Paste up to 100 URLs and this tool will request each address, follow redirects, and report the initial status code, final status code, final URL, number of hops, and request time.
Why HTTP status codes matter for SEO
Search engines rely on HTTP responses to understand what happened to a URL. A 200 indicates success, 301 or 302 indicates a redirect, 404 indicates a missing page, and 5xx suggests server-side failures. Auditing status codes helps you fix crawling problems, prevent wasted crawl budget, and avoid accidental “soft 404” behavior caused by misconfigured redirects.
What this tool checks
For each URL, the checker attempts a lightweight HEAD request first and falls back to a minimal GET if the server blocks HEAD. It records redirect hops using Location headers, detects loops, flags hop limits, and captures errors such as DNS/TLS failures and timeouts. Export the report to Excel to sort by status and prioritize fixes.
Fast workflow tip
Start by fixing 5xx errors (server reliability), then handle 404 and broken redirects. Next, shorten redirect chains to a single hop where possible, especially for canonical URLs and sitemap links.
FAQ
What is a bulk HTTP status checker?
A bulk HTTP status checker tests a list of URLs and reports their response codes (200, 301, 404, 500, etc.). It helps you quickly find broken pages, redirects, and server errors across many links at once.
Does this tool follow redirects?
Yes. It follows redirects step-by-step using Location headers and reports the final destination URL, the final status code, and the number of redirect hops.
Why do I see status code 0?
Status 0 means the request didn’t complete (DNS failure, TLS/SSL handshake error, timeout, firewall/CDN block, or connection issues). It’s not a real HTTP response code returned by the server.
Do you use HEAD or GET requests?
The tool uses HEAD first to keep checks fast and lightweight. If HEAD is blocked (for example, returns 405) or produces no response, it automatically retries with a minimal GET request.
What is a “hop” in the results?
A hop is one redirect step (a 3xx response with a valid Location). Fewer hops are better — long redirect chains waste crawl budget and slow down users.
Why can a URL show 403/429 even if it works in a browser?
Some websites block automated requests, rate-limit traffic, or require cookies/JS challenges. In those cases the checker may receive 403 (forbidden) or 429 (too many requests).
How should I prioritize fixes?
Fix 5xx errors first (server reliability), then 404 and other client errors, then reduce redirect chains to a single hop. For SEO, make sure sitemap and internal links point to the final canonical URL.
Can I export or copy the results?
Yes. Export the report to CSV/Excel for sorting and filtering, or use “Copy results” to paste into a spreadsheet instantly.
