Bulk URL Status Checker
Check HTTP status codes for up to 50 URLs at once.
A client once handed us a spreadsheet of 300 backlinks built over two years and asked a simple question: how many are actually still live? Checking each one by hand would have meant opening 300 browser tabs. Instead, we dropped the full list into a bulk checker, and in under two minutes we had every status code back including 18 links that had quietly turned into 404s and 6 that were now redirecting somewhere unrelated to the original placement.
That’s exactly the gap our free bulk URL status checker fills. Paste in your list of URLs, and it returns the HTTP status code for every single one 200, 301, 404, 500, all of it without you touching a single tab.
What This Tool Actually Checks
Every webpage responds with an HTTP status code the moment a browser or crawler requests it. A 200 means the page loaded fine. A 301 or 302 means it redirected somewhere else. A 404 means the page is gone. A 500 means the server itself broke. A bulk URL status checker runs this same request across an entire list at once, instead of you checking pages one at a time.
This matters most when you’re managing dozens or hundreds of links across guest posts, backlink audits, or a large site migration. A single broken link is easy to catch. Three hundred of them, spread across a spreadsheet nobody’s opened in a year, are not.
Where Agencies and Marketers Use This
- Auditing an existing backlink profile to find dead links worth reclaiming or replacing
- Confirming guest post placements are still live months after publication
- Checking a client’s internal link list after a site redesign or CMS migration
- Validating a marketplace seller’s sample links before agreeing to a placement
- Running a quick health check on an XML sitemap’s full URL list
How the Bulk URL Status Checker Works
- Paste your list of URLs, one per line
- Click “Check Status” no account needed
- Review the status code returned for each URL
- Sort or filter to isolate 404s, 500s, or unexpected redirects
- Export the results or copy them straight into your audit report
Features Worth Knowing About
- Checks large lists in one pass instead of one URL at a time
- Shows the full status code, not just “working” or “broken”
- Flags redirect chains so you can see where a URL actually ends up
- No signup, no daily cap, completely free
- Results formatted for easy copy into a spreadsheet
A Few Honest Limitations
This checker reports the status code a server returns it doesn’t tell you whether the content on a live page is actually relevant or high quality anymore. A page can return 200 and still have changed completely since you linked to it, so a clean status check isn’t the same as a full content audit.
Very large lists (a few thousand URLs at once) may take longer to process, since each one requires an individual server request. For routine audits of a few hundred links, that’s rarely an issue.
Why Agencies Trust This Tool
We built this for our own backlink audits before we ever put it on the site. Our technical SEO team checks guest post placements on a recurring basis, and manually verifying links at scale simply wasn’t sustainable. The tool reflects that actual workflow, not a feature list assembled to fill out a page.
FAQs
How many URLs can I check at once?
There’s no fixed cap, though very large batches take a bit longer since each URL is requested individually.
Does it show redirect destinations?
Yes. Redirected URLs show both the status code and where the redirect points to.
Will this catch soft 404s?
Not directly. A soft 404 returns a 200-status code even though the page shows “not found” content, so those need a manual look.
Is this useful for checking guest post links specifically?
Yes, it’s one of the most common ways agencies use this tool, confirming placements are still live and pointing where they should.
