Redirect Checker

Check the Status Code and Redirection of Any URL

Understanding Redirects and Status Codes

HTTP Status Codes

When a browser requests a webpage, the server responds with an HTTP status code. These codes are grouped into categories:

• 1xx (Informational): Provisional responses
• 2xx (Success): Successful processing of the request
• 3xx (Redirection): Further action needed to complete the request
• 4xx (Client Error): Error on the client's part
• 5xx (Server Error): Problems on the server side

Common Redirect Status Codes

• 301 Moved Permanently: The page has permanently moved to a new URL
• 302 Found: Temporary redirect
• 307 Temporary Redirect: Similar to 302, but maintains the original request method
• 308 Permanent Redirect: Similar to 301, but maintains the original request method
