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.

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).
