HTTP Status Checker

Developer Tools

Check HTTP status codes for any URL.

⚡ Instant🌐 Online lookup🆓 Free, no sign-up👥 For developers
The address you enter is sent to our server, which requests it and reports the response. The lookup is made for you by our server; FreeToolsVerse does not save what you check.

What HTTP Status Checker does

HTTP Status Checker requests a URL from our server and reports the real status code (200, 301, 404, 500...), the final address after redirects, response time, SSL certificate details and the key response headers. Because the request comes from a server, it works for any public site, unlike checks run inside a browser.

How to use HTTP Status Checker

  1. Enter the URL you want to check
  2. Choose GET or HEAD and how to identify the request (optional)
  3. Click Check
  4. Read the status code, explanation, SSL details and headers

Who should use it

Made for developers. Typical uses:

  • Confirming a page returns 200 OK after deploying a fix for a broken link
  • Checking whether a URL is redirecting (3xx) when you expected a direct 200 response
  • Verifying a list of URLs one by one after a site migration to catch any that now 404

Limitations and accuracy

Only public http and https addresses on standard ports can be checked, with a few checks per minute. Some sites block automated requests and answer 403 or 429.

Accuracy: Output is tested against known inputs. For production code, review the result and run your own tests.

Frequently asked questions

Does this send my URL to a server?
Yes. The request has to be made from our server to read the status code, since browsers hide cross-site status codes. Only the URL you enter is used, and nothing is stored.
Why does a site show 403 here but load fine in my browser?
Some sites block automated requests. Try the "Chrome browser" identity option, which mimics a normal browser.
Can I check localhost or private addresses?
No. For security only public internet addresses can be checked.
