About HTTP status codes and redirects
HTTP status codes tell you how a server responded: 2xx is success, 3xx is a redirect, 4xx is a client error (like 404 not found), and 5xx is a server error. Getting the right code matters for users and for search engines, which treat each code differently.
This checker follows the whole redirect chain and shows every hop, so you can confirm HTTP forwards to HTTPS, non-www to www, and old URLs to new ones — without loops or unnecessary extra hops that slow pages and dilute SEO signals.

What does this status code checker do?
It requests a URL through a server-side proxy, follows every redirect, and reports the final HTTP status code, the redirect chain, the final URL and the response time.
What do the status codes mean?
2xx is success, 3xx is a redirect, 4xx is a client error (like 404 not found), and 5xx is a server error. Each is treated differently by browsers and search engines.
Why does the redirect chain matter?
Long or looping redirect chains slow page loads, waste crawl budget, and can dilute SEO signals. Ideally redirect straight to the final URL in one hop.
Can it check HTTP-to-HTTPS redirects?
Yes. Enter the http:// URL and it shows whether and how the site forwards to HTTPS, plus any www or path redirects.
Why use a proxy instead of the browser?
Browsers block cross-origin requests and hide redirect details. The server-side proxy sees the true status codes, headers and each redirect hop.
Is the timing real?
Yes. The response time is measured server-side during the actual request, not estimated.
