What this http status checker does

HTTP Status Checker requests a URL through the KitJade Cloudflare Worker and reports the status code, status text, redirect chain, final URL and elapsed time. It is useful for verifying that a migrated page returns 200 rather than a soft 404 or a redirect loop.

The Worker follows redirects manually, returns headers only and blocks private, loopback, link-local, carrier-grade NAT and cloud metadata addresses. That prevents the checker from being used to probe an internal network or a cloud instance's metadata service.

Why use it

  • Confirm that a redirected URL lands on a 200 page.
  • Find a redirect loop or an unexpected cross-domain hop.
  • Check a page's status after a deploy.

How to use it

  1. 1Enter the full URL, including https://.
  2. 2Run the check.
  3. 3Read the final status, the chain and the elapsed time.

Worked examples

Healthy page

Input

https://example.com

Output

200 OK, one hop, no redirects.

Redirect

Input

http://example.com

Output

301 to https://example.com, then 200 at the final URL.

Common mistakes

  • Treating a 403 or 503 as proof the page is broken; some sites block automated requests.
  • Forgetting that geo-routing can produce different chains in different regions.
  • Using an internal hostname, which the Worker correctly refuses to fetch.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the check fail when the site loads in my browser?
The site may block non-browser user agents, require cookies, or sit behind a challenge. The Worker sends a normal request without your session.
Does it download the page?
No. It requests the URL and reads response headers, cancelling the body where possible. It returns headers and status, not page content.
Can I check localhost?
No. Private, loopback and metadata addresses are blocked so the service cannot be abused for internal scanning.
