Website Status Checker
Check if one or multiple websites are up or down. Shows HTTP status, response time and server info. Batch check multiple URLs at once.
How to Use
- Enter one URL per line or separate multiple URLs with commas.
- Click Popular Sites to quickly check major websites.
- Click Check Status — results update in real time as each site is checked.
- Green dot means the site responded with a 2xx status. Red means it returned an error or failed to connect. Yellow means the request timed out after 10 seconds.
- All checks run via a CORS proxy to bypass browser cross-origin restrictions.
What is Website Status Checker?
A website status checker is a networking tool that tests whether one or more websites are currently accessible by sending HTTP requests and reporting back the response code, response time, and status. It tells you instantly whether a site is up, returning an error, or too slow to respond — and crucially, whether the problem is on your end or with the site itself.
When a website fails to load in your browser, it can be hard to know if the site is actually down globally or if the problem is with your local network, DNS settings, or ISP. A status checker makes requests from an independent vantage point, so you can confirm whether the outage is widespread or isolated to your connection.
HTTP status codes tell you a lot about what is happening. A 200 status means the site is responding normally. A 301 or 302 means there is a redirect. A 403 means access is forbidden. A 404 means the page was not found. A 500 or 503 means the server is experiencing an error. The tool explains each code in plain language so you do not need to memorise them.
Batch checking lets you test multiple URLs at once — useful for monitoring a set of URLs before a deployment, checking all your client websites, or validating a list of links. Response times are shown for each URL so you can spot slow servers alongside outright failures.
How to Use Website Status Checker
- Enter one or more URLs
Type or paste the website URLs you want to check. Add multiple URLs to batch check them all at once.
- Run the check
Click Check Status. The tool sends HTTP requests to each URL and waits for a response.
- Review the results
See the HTTP status code, response time in milliseconds, and a plain-language status for each URL.
- Understand status codes
Hover over any status code to see what it means and what action, if any, you should take.
Key Benefits
Tests from outside your network to tell you if a site is truly down globally or just unreachable from your location.
Check many URLs simultaneously — ideal for validating link lists, monitoring client sites, or pre-deployment checks.
See how fast each server responds so you can identify slow sites alongside ones that are completely down.
HTTP status codes are explained in clear language so you know exactly what each result means.
Frequently Asked Questions
This can happen if the site blocks certain data centres or if there is a caching layer. It can also indicate a regional outage that does not affect your location.
A 403 (Forbidden) means the server is reachable but is blocking the request. This often happens when a site blocks automated checks or requires authentication.
You can check multiple URLs in a single batch. Keep the list reasonable in size to get timely results — very large batches may take longer to complete.
Yes, the checker follows HTTP redirects and reports the final status code along with noting whether a redirect occurred.
