Bulk HTTP Status Checker
After a migration, a cleanup or a backlink audit, you need to know which URLs work, which redirect and which are broken. This checker fetches a list of URLs, follows redirects the way a crawler does and reports the result for each.

GOOD TO KNOW
Common mistakes, an example and the limits.
Common mistakes
- Checking URLs while logged in and assuming everyone sees the same.
- Treating a 200 on a "not found" page as healthy (a soft 404).
A worked example
Of 25 old product URLs, 19 redirect correctly, 4 return 404 and 2 go through a three-hop chain.
Limitations
- Up to 25 URLs per run, to keep the free service available; run the next batch after a minute.
- Each URL is fetched once, without cookies, as a crawler would.
