Bulk status code checker for free: check many URLs
Free individual check · without registration
Add up to 50 URLs as a list. The check retrieves each address via HEAD, follows redirects and shows final status, destination URL and redirect number. This allows you to control a fixed URL selection again after a relaunch.

Checking a URL list after moving
Practical example · for illustration
Starting position
Insert the old URLs of a relaunch line by line.
Classify the findings
200, 301, 404 and retrieval errors require different measures. A 200 can also be an empty error page.
Specific amendment
Correct assignment or link at 404; check the final landing page at 301; retest timeouts separately.
Control and border
After deployment, check the same list again. The tool evaluates responses of the submitted URLs and does not independently detect a complete website.
Prepare a repeatable URL list
Apply full HTTP or HTTPS addresses, one per line. For example, use the old URLs of a relaunch and keep the same list for follow-up. The limit refers to the first 50 non-empty lines; duplicate entries are then removed. The examination does not detect any other pages by a crawl.
Read Final Status and Redirects Together
A final status 200 means that in the end a successful response came. It does not say that the entered address answers directly or lands at the correct destination. Therefore, also check destination URL and redirect number. For the status codes of individual intermediate hops, use the Redirect Checker.
Differentiate HTTP error and retrieval error
With 404 or 410, you decide based on the content whether the URL has been deliberately removed or needs a suitable landing page. At 5xx, you check server and application. In the case of timeout or access block, the HTTP state is not reliably determined. The check uses HEAD; the server responds to it differently than on GET, examine the URL with the retrieval options of Get Header.
Questions about use and boundaries
How many URLs are checked?
Up to 50 non-empty input lines are taken over and then deduplicated. Submit larger lists in suitable subsets. The tool does not crawl any more URLs and does not read a sitemap.
Is the first or the last status code displayed?
The displayed status belongs to the final response after the redirects. In addition, you will see destination URL and redirect number. The individual status codes of all hops are not broken down as a complete chain in this tool.
Does a status 200 also recognize Soft 404?
No. The HEAD retrieval does not evaluate any page content. For an error page that delivers HTTP 200, you also need the Soft 404 Checker or a manual content check.
When is the HTTP status code checker better?
If you want to examine a single answer in more detail or take URLs from a sitemap. The bulk status code checker focuses on a fixed, short URL list and its final answers.
