Launch verification
Confirm that a newly published public URL returns the intended successful response.
Links and URLs tool
HTTP Status Code Checker
Check what a public URL returns with a real bounded GET request. Read the status beside the final destination and response evidence instead of treating one number as the whole diagnosis.

Broken-page triage
Separate a real 404 or server response from a browser-only display problem.
Header inspection
Check content type and X-Robots-Tag evidence beside the final status.
What it checks
Use the result as evidence, not a score.
- Final HTTP status and standard status label
- Requested and final URLs
- Redirect count, content type, and selected response headers
- One observed server response time
What it cannot check
- A representative performance benchmark from one request
- Responses for every user-agent, country, device, or cookie state
- Whether every internal link points to the intended URL
How it works
Input, inspect, improve, verify.
The tool processes what you enter, shows a plain-language result, and gives you a safer next step. Make the change on your website, deploy it, then test the live page again.
Popular use cases

Pro tips
Small checks that prevent avoidable mistakes.
- Check the final URL as well as the status code when redirects are present.
- Treat response time as one observation, not a speed score.
- Use a GET check because some servers answer HEAD requests differently.
- Re-test after deployment from the same URL before marking the fix complete.
Common issues and solutions
What to review when the result looks wrong.
The browser works but the tool fails
The site may depend on cookies, location, JavaScript, bot filtering, or a private session.
A 200 response shows an error page
That can be a soft 404. Review the visible content and template, not only the code.
The status changes between checks
Inspect caching, load balancing, deployment state, and bot-specific rules.
Frequently asked questions
Short answers before you make a change.
Does HTTP 200 mean a page is indexed?
No. It only confirms the response observed by this request. Indexing needs separate evidence.
Is every redirect a problem?
No. A single deliberate redirect is common. Long, conflicting, or looping chains deserve review.
Is the response time a Core Web Vital?
No. It is one server-response observation, not Lighthouse or real-user field data.
