✓ Free to Use • No Signup • Live Check — We Fetch the URL for You
Paste a list of URLs — one per line, up to fifteen — and get a verdict on each: the HTTP status code, and the final address it lands on after any redirects. A summary counts the healthy, the redirected, the broken and the unreachable, so a dirty list becomes a clean one in a single pass.
Status codes are the web’s vital signs. A 200 is alive, a 301 has moved permanently, a 404 is gone, a 500 means the server itself is failing. Anyone who manages lists of URLs — backlink targets, migration maps, bookmark collections, client site inventories — spends real time checking them one by one.
This tool does the batch: fifteen at a time, each followed through its redirects to the final answer. The jobs it serves are practical — verifying that pages you plan to link to are alive, confirming a migration moved everything, cleaning a prospect list before outreach. For one URL’s full journey, hop by hop, use the Redirect Checker.
A 200 means the page is live and serving normally — the answer you want for every URL you care about. A 301 means the address has moved permanently and visitors are handed to a new location, which is healthy after a redesign but worth knowing about when it appears on a URL you still link to. A 404 says the page is gone with no forwarding address, and a 410 says the same thing more firmly: removed on purpose, and search engines usually drop it faster.
Server-side codes are a different kind of signal. A 500 is a general server failure — the page exists but the server could not produce it — and a 503 means the server is temporarily unavailable, often during maintenance or overload; search engines treat a brief 503 as a pause, but a long one starts to look like disappearance. Other 4xx codes, such as 401 and 403, mean the content is there but access is restricted, which matters when a crawler is the visitor being turned away.
After a migration, the fastest sanity check is to paste the old URL list and confirm every address answers with a single 301 landing on a live 200 page — anything returning 404, looping, or landing somewhere unexpected goes on the fix list before it costs you traffic. The same paste-and-check habit protects backlink work: before you build a link toward a page, confirm the target itself is live, and after placement, recheck the linking page to be sure your new link sits on a page that actually resolves.
Outreach lists decay quietly. Blogs shut down, domains lapse, and pages move, so a prospect list gathered months ago always contains dead ends that waste personalised pitches. Run the list through this checker first and sort by the summary counts: keep the live pages, investigate the redirects to see where they now lead, and drop or replace the 404s and server errors. Fifteen minutes of cleaning before a campaign consistently beats an afternoon of pitching sites that no longer exist.
Privacy: to run this check, our server fetches the public URL you enter — the same request any browser or crawler makes. The URL and its results are not stored; close the tab and they are gone.
Each check is a real request to a real server, made politely one at a time. Fifteen keeps the tool fast and keeps us a good citizen on other people’s servers. For hundreds of URLs, run batches — or use a desktop crawler.
Not necessarily. Some servers refuse automated requests while serving browsers happily. A 403 here means our checker was refused — open the URL in your browser to see what a visitor gets before concluding anything.
If the URL is yours, restore the page or redirect it to its closest living equivalent. If it is a page you link to, update or remove the link. If it is a backlink target you were counting on, it has stopped passing anything — replace it.
Yes — each URL is followed to its final destination (up to 5 hops), and both the final status and the final URL are reported, so a 200 at the end of a redirect still reads as healthy but shows you where it landed.
