About the HTTP Status & Redirect Checker
The HTTP Status & Redirect Checker shows the HTTP response code for any URL and follows the full redirect chain. Use it to verify 301 and 302 redirects, catch redirect loops, find broken 404s, and confirm pages return 200 OK. It’s an essential check for SEO migrations and link audits.
How to use the HTTP Status & Redirect Checker
- Enter the URL you want to check.
- Click Check status.
- Review the status code and the full redirect chain.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between 301 and 302?
A 301 is a permanent redirect that passes SEO value; a 302 is temporary. Use 301 for permanent moves.
Why does a URL show multiple hops?
Each hop is a redirect. Long redirect chains slow pages and dilute SEO — aim for a single redirect.
