Checking URLs...

Checking HTTP status codes for URLs is a crucial step in technical SEO processes. Solann's free status code checker tool helps you quickly identify server response status for single or multiple URLs, ensuring your website operates smoothly and remains search engine friendly.

Accurate HTTP status code analysis helps you diagnose potential issues like broken links, incorrect redirects, or server errors. Timely resolution of these issues contributes to improved user experience and maintains effective SEO rankings.

Outstanding Features of the Status Code Checker Tool

Solann's tool provides a comprehensive solution to analyze your website's technical health quickly and accurately.

  • Bulk Checking: Easily check status codes for thousands of URLs simultaneously by pasting lists or uploading .txt, .csv files.
  • Redirect Chain Tracking: Analyze each step in detail within redirect chains (e.g., 301, 302), helping you identify redirect loops or unnecessary steps that slow down page loading speed.
  • User-Agent Simulation: See how your website responds to different crawlers such as Googlebot, Bingbot, or Chrome browser.
  • Visual Reports: Results are clearly presented, categorized by status codes (2xx, 3xx, 4xx, 5xx) and allow data export to CSV or JSON files for deeper analysis.

Why Check HTTP Status Codes?

Every time a browser or search engine bot requests a URL, the server returns an HTTP status code. This code indicates whether the request was processed successfully, helping guide next steps for both users and search engines.

Understanding these codes is the foundation of technical SEO. For example, a page returning 404 (Not Found) won't be indexed, while 301 (Moved Permanently) will transfer link equity to the new URL. Regular checking ensures search engines can crawl and index your website accurately.

Tool Use Cases

This tool is especially useful in many critical situations, helping you proactively manage and optimize your website.

  • After Website Migration: Verify all 301 redirects have been properly set up from old URLs to new URLs.
  • Broken Link Checking: Quickly find internal links or backlinks pointing to 404 pages for repair or redirection.
  • Technical SEO Audit: Assess overall website health, identify pages with server errors (5xx) or access-blocked pages (4xx).
  • Competitor Analysis: See how competitors handle redirects and their website structure.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is an HTTP status code?

An HTTP status code is a 3-digit number returned by a web server when it receives a request to access a URL. It indicates the result of the request, such as success (200 OK), redirect (301 Moved Permanently), or error (404 Not Found).

2. Why is checking 404 codes important for SEO?

404 errors (Not Found) create poor user experience and waste search engine crawl budget. Identifying and fixing 404 pages by implementing 301 redirects to relevant pages helps retain SEO value and improves user experience.

3. Can this tool check redirect chains?

Yes. Our tool analyzes and displays complete redirect chains, helping you easily identify unnecessary redirects or redirect loops harmful to SEO. To control redirect rules, you can use the .htaccess file checker tool.

4. Is using the status code checker tool free?

Completely free. Solann provides this tool to support the SEO community and web administrators in easily diagnosing technical issues on their websites.
