Bulk HTTP Status Code & Redirect Checker
Check the status code and full redirect chain of up to 100 URLs at once. Find 404s, redirect chains, loops and broken links in seconds.
What does an HTTP status code tell you?
Every time a browser or search engine requests a page, the server answers with a three-digit status code. It says whether the page loaded, moved, is missing or failed. Checking status codes in bulk is one of the fastest ways to find technical SEO problems, broken backlinks and bad redirects.
| Code | Meaning | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| 200 | OK – the page loaded | Nothing. This is what you want. |
| 301 / 308 | Permanent redirect | Fine for moved pages. Link straight to the final URL where you can. |
| 302 / 307 | Temporary redirect | Use a 301 if the move is permanent. |
| 404 / 410 | Not found / gone | Restore the page or redirect it to the closest match. |
| 403 | Forbidden | The server blocks the request – check firewall or bot protection. |
| 5xx | Server error | Fix the server or hosting problem quickly; search engines notice. |
Why redirect chains matter
A redirect chain happens when URL A redirects to B, which redirects to C. Each hop slows visitors down, wastes crawl budget and can lose a little link value. A common example is http://example.com → https://example.com → https://www.example.com. The checker shows every hop, so you can update links and redirects to point straight at the final URL.
When to use a bulk redirect checker
- After a site migration – confirm every old URL redirects to the right new page with a 301.
- Before buying an expired domain – see where the domain and its old pages redirect today. Our expired domain checklist explains what else to check.
- Backlink audits – find links pointing to pages that now return 404, then ask for an update or add a redirect.
- Guest post checks – make sure published posts are live and not redirected away.
How this checker works
- Paste URLs or plain domains. Domains start at http://, so you can see whether they redirect to HTTPS.
- We request each URL without following redirects automatically, record the status code, then follow the Location header step by step – up to 10 hops.
- Loops, timeouts, DNS failures and SSL problems are reported clearly instead of a generic error.
