HTTP Status Checker

Check the HTTP status of any URL, follow redirect chains, and inspect headers.

Browser limitation: CORS means most public sites refuse browser-made requests. Use this tool for CORS-enabled APIs and endpoints (or localhost dev servers), and curl for everything else. Redirect chains are followed manually.

//Share this tool

Check the HTTP status code of any URL and see the full redirect chain with per-hop timings. Understand 2xx, 3xx, 4xx, and 5xx responses and inspect the final response headers — all from your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions

>Why do most sites fail with a CORS error??
This tool runs entirely in your browser, and browsers block cross-origin requests unless the target sends CORS headers. Use it for CORS-enabled APIs, your own endpoints, or localhost dev servers — and curl for everything else.
>Does it follow redirects??
Yes, manually, up to 5 hops. Each hop is shown with its status and response time.
>What does HEAD vs GET mean??
HEAD returns headers only (fast, no body). GET downloads the body too, which some servers treat differently (e.g. logging, analytics).
