HTTP status code reference
2xx Success
- 200 OK
- : The request succeeded. The page loaded normally.
- 201 Created
- : A new resource was successfully created.
- 204 No Content
- : Request succeeded but there is no content to return.
3xx Redirection
- 301 Moved Permanently
- : The URL has permanently moved. Search engines will transfer ranking signals to the new URL.
- 302 Found
- : Temporary redirect. Search engines may keep indexing the original URL.
- 307 Temporary Redirect
- : Same as 302 but preserves the HTTP method.
- 308 Permanent Redirect
- : Same as 301 but preserves the HTTP method.
4xx Client errors
- 400 Bad Request
- : The server could not understand the request.
- 401 Unauthorized
- : Authentication is required.
- 403 Forbidden
- : The server understood the request but refuses to authorize it.
- 404 Not Found
- : The page does not exist. Returns soft 404 signals to search engines if not handled properly.
- 410 Gone
- : The page has been permanently removed. Stronger deletion signal than 404 for search engines.
- 429 Too Many Requests
- : Rate limit exceeded. Crawlers will slow down or retry later.
5xx Server errors
- 500 Internal Server Error
- : Something went wrong on the server.
- 502 Bad Gateway
- : The server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
- 503 Service Unavailable
- : The server is temporarily unavailable. Search engines will retry later if a Retry-After header is set.
How to use it
- Paste your URLs into the box, one per line, or upload a .txt file or a .csv whose first column holds the URLs. Up to 100 URLs go in one batch.
- Choose whether to follow redirects, pick HEAD or GET, and set how long to wait per URL. HEAD is faster; GET is the honest test when a server treats the two differently.
- Results stream in as they arrive. Click a summary tile or use the filter to narrow the table to one response class, then export the whole set as CSV or JSON.
Reading the results
- A 301 redirect passes most link equity to the destination. Use it for permanent URL changes.
- Soft 404s, pages that return 200 with no real content, are worse than real 404s for SEO. A crawler keeps requesting them and Google decides for itself that the page is empty.
- A 410 Gone tells Google to drop the URL from its index faster than a 404 does. Use it when you removed the page on purpose and nothing replaces it.
- If your server responds differently to HEAD and GET requests, test both methods. Search engines crawl with GET, so GET is the answer that matters when the two disagree.
- Check status codes after a site migration to catch broken URLs early. The window between launch and the next crawl is the cheapest time to fix them.
- Turn off Follow redirects when you want to see the redirect itself rather than where it lands. That is the only way to tell a 301 from a 302 in this table.
Frequently asked questions
What is an HTTP status code?
Every time a browser or search engine requests a URL, the server sends back a three-digit status code. This code tells the requester whether the page loaded fine (200), moved somewhere else (301 or 302), or hit an error (404, 500). Understanding these codes helps you find and fix crawling issues.
What is the difference between a 301 and 302 redirect?
A 301 tells search engines the move is permanent, so they transfer ranking signals to the new URL and update their index. A 302 signals a temporary move, so search engines may keep the original URL in their index. Use 301 for permanent URL changes and 302 only when you plan to bring the original URL back.
Are 404 errors bad for SEO?
Occasional 404s are normal and do not hurt your site overall. But if important pages return 404, you lose their rankings and any link equity pointing to them. After a migration or URL restructure, redirect old URLs to relevant new pages with 301s instead of letting them 404.
How often should I check my URLs for errors?
Run a status code check after any site migration, URL restructure, or major content update. For ongoing monitoring, monthly checks catch issues before they impact rankings. If you have a large site, focus on high-traffic and high-authority pages first.
Why does a redirecting URL show a 200 here?
Because Follow redirects is on by default, which is what a browser and a crawler both do. The status you see is the one the chain ends on, and the URL it ended on appears in the Redirect to column with a note of how many hops it took. Turn the switch off to report the first response instead, which is how you confirm whether a redirect is a 301 or a 302.
