Frequently Asked Questions

What do 200, 3xx, 4xx and 5xx responses mean?

A 2xx response generally indicates success, 3xx indicates redirection, 4xx indicates a client/request problem such as not found, and 5xx indicates a server-side failure. The exact code provides more detail.

Why do HTTP status codes matter for SEO?

Crawlers use HTTP responses to understand whether content is available, moved or unavailable. Incorrect codes can waste crawling, preserve broken URLs or make a valid page appear inaccessible.

Can the checker follow redirects?

Yes. For public URLs it can report redirect hops within bounded request limits so you can see the response path and final destination.
