Inspect a public URL

Submitted URLs are checked transiently by ErgoKit Workers. Results are not stored.

Enter a public URL to inspect its status, redirects, timing, and selected headers.

Checks

  • HTTP status code and reason phrase
  • Final URL after redirects
  • HEAD request with GET fallback
  • Response and total runtime timing

Result

  • Status summary
  • Redirect count and hop list
  • Final URL
  • Selected response headers

Guardrails

  • Public HTTP and HTTPS URLs only
  • Private and local network targets blocked
  • Bounded redirect handling
  • No response body exposed in the result

Privacy

Submitted URLs are checked by ErgoKit's Worker runtime. Results show metadata only; response bodies are not displayed.

HTTP Status Checker reference

HTTP Status Checker inspects how a public URL responds at the network edge: status code, final URL, redirect count, response timing, and selected headers. It is a quick way to confirm whether a page, API endpoint, or redirect target is reachable.

Why status codes matter

Status codes tell crawlers, browsers, monitors, and API clients how to treat a URL. A clean 200-class response is usually expected for public pages, while redirects, 404s, and 500-class errors need context.

  • 200-class responses usually mean the URL is reachable
  • 300-class responses indicate redirects and canonicalization behavior
  • 400-class responses often indicate missing or blocked resources
  • 500-class responses point to server or upstream availability problems

Redirect and final URL checks

The final URL matters for canonical links, sharing, sitemaps, and search indexing. Long redirect chains slow down crawlers and users, while loops or protocol downgrades can break access entirely.

Safe public probing

The tool checks public HTTP and HTTPS URLs only, blocks private network targets, bounds redirects, and does not display response bodies. That keeps diagnostics useful without turning the tool into a content fetcher.

Common questions

Why can a URL open in my browser but show an error here?

Some sites handle browser GET requests differently from server-side HEAD or diagnostic requests. Firewalls, bot controls, redirects, and Cloudflare settings can change the response.

Does HTTP Status Checker follow redirects?

Yes. It follows a bounded redirect chain and reports the final URL, redirect count, and key timing details.

Does the tool show page content?

No. It reports status, timing, final URL, redirects, and selected headers, but it does not display response bodies.
