Why does a redirecting URL show a 200 status instead of 301?
Each URL is requested with a GET that follows redirects to their final destination, so the status you see is the one returned by the page the chain actually lands on. If an old address responds with a 301 that points to a live page, the checker quietly follows that hop and reports the final 200 OK rather than the 301 itself. That is great for confirming a redirect resolves cleanly and does not loop or dead-end, but it means a single 200 can hide one or more redirect steps along the way. If you specifically need to see the 3xx hop and its exact target, check that URL on its own in a dedicated redirect-checker. To simply confirm your links end somewhere healthy, paste them in and watch for the green 2xx results.
What does a Timeout or Error result mean in the status checker?
Timeout and Error are the tool's own labels for requests that never returned a normal HTTP status code, so they show no numeric code at all. Timeout means the server did not respond within the 10-second limit applied to every URL — the result is marked rather than left to hang the whole batch, which usually points to a slow, overloaded, or unreachable host. Error covers everything else that prevented a response, such as a malformed address, a DNS failure, or the request being blocked before a status came back. Neither necessarily means the page is permanently broken; a retry often succeeds if the server was momentarily busy. Re-run just the flagged lines, and if they keep failing, open those URLs directly in your browser to confirm whether the site is genuinely down.
For SEO, is a 301 or 302 redirect better after moving a page?
For a permanent move, a 301 (Moved Permanently) is almost always the right choice. It tells search engines the old URL is gone for good and passes ranking signals to the new address, so the destination inherits the equity the old page built. A 302 (Found) or 307 signals a temporary detour, so engines tend to keep the original URL indexed and may not consolidate signals to the target — fine for short-term swaps like A/B tests or a brief maintenance page, but a quiet SEO leak if used for a permanent change. After any migration, verify that old URLs return the right kind of redirect to the right destination instead of a 404. Paste your moved URLs into the checker to confirm each one resolves to a healthy final page.
How do I check more than 20 URLs at once?
The checker caps each run at 20 URLs, and any lines beyond the twentieth are simply ignored rather than queued, so a longer list needs to be split into batches of 20 or fewer. This limit keeps runs predictable and avoids hammering target servers, since URLs are processed one after another with a short pause between requests instead of all at once. To audit a large sitemap, paste your first 20 lines, run the check, use Copy All to export the URL, status code, and description as tab-separated text into a spreadsheet, then repeat with the next 20. Building one combined sheet this way gives you a complete picture across hundreds of links while staying within the per-run limit. Start by pasting your first batch, one URL per line, to get going.
Does the bulk checker send my URLs to a third party?
Yes — and it is worth understanding before you paste anything sensitive. Browsers block most cross-origin requests, so the checker cannot read another site's response directly. To work around that, it routes each request through a public CORS proxy (corsproxy.io), which means the URLs you submit pass through that third-party service rather than going straight from your browser to the target site. For public pages this is harmless and exactly how the status codes get retrieved. However, you should avoid pasting internal staging links, URLs containing private tokens or query-string secrets, or anything you would not want a third party to see in transit. For normal public link audits and post-deployment checks, paste your list and run it with confidence.

About the Bulk HTTP Status Checker
The Bulk HTTP Status Checker is a free tool for testing the HTTP response of many web addresses in one pass. Paste a list of URLs — one per line, up to 20 at a time — and it requests each one and reports the status code it returned, alongside a plain-English label such as "OK," "Moved Permanently," or "Not Found." It's built for anyone who maintains links at scale: SEO specialists auditing a sitemap, developers verifying a deployment, content editors hunting dead outbound links, and site owners checking that old pages redirect cleanly after a migration.
You don't have to type a scheme. If you enter example.com without http:// or https://, the checker adds https:// for you before making the request. There's no sign-up and nothing to install — you open the page and start checking.
How the checker works
URLs are processed one after another rather than all at once, with a short pause between requests, so a long list won't hammer a server. Each request is sent as a GET and follows redirects to their final destination, then reports the status of where it landed. A live counter shows progress (for example, 7/20) so you can see how far through the batch you are. Two limits keep the tool predictable:
- 20 URLs per run — extra lines beyond the twentieth are ignored. Split a larger list into batches.
- A 10-second timeout per URL — if a server doesn't respond in time the result is marked "Timeout" rather than hanging the whole batch.
Because browsers block most cross-origin requests directly, the checker routes each request through a public CORS proxy (corsproxy.io) so it can read the response. That means the URLs you submit pass through that third-party service rather than going straight from your browser to the target site — worth knowing before you paste internal staging links or anything sensitive.
Reading the status codes
HTTP status codes are grouped into ranges, and the results are color-coded to match. Knowing the families makes a long list quick to scan:
- 2xx — Success (green). The page loaded normally.
200 OKis the everyday healthy response;204 No Contentmeans the request succeeded but there's no body to return. - 3xx — Redirect (yellow). The URL points somewhere else.
301 Moved Permanentlypasses ranking signals to the new address and is the right choice for permanent moves;302 Foundand307 Temporary Redirectsignal a temporary detour. - 4xx — Client error (red). Something is wrong with the request.
404 Not Foundis the classic broken link;403 Forbiddenand401 Unauthorizedmean access was denied;429 Too Many Requestsmeans you've been rate-limited. - 5xx — Server error (red). The server failed to fulfil a valid request —
500 Internal Server Error,502 Bad Gateway,503 Service Unavailable, or504 Gateway Timeout.
Why bulk status checks matter
Broken links quietly erode both user trust and SEO. Visitors who hit a 404 often leave, and search engines waste crawl budget on dead URLs while link equity drains into pages that no longer exist. Checking in bulk turns a tedious one-by-one chore into a single batch you can run after any release, redirect change, or content cleanup.
A few practical uses:
- Post-migration audits — confirm old URLs return
301to the right new pages instead of404. - Outbound link hygiene — find references in your articles that have since gone dead.
- Redirect verification — make sure a chain resolves to a final
200and isn't looping or stalling.
When the run finishes, use Copy All to grab every URL, its status code, and description as tab-separated text — ready to paste into a spreadsheet for tracking or sharing with your team.
