Frequently Asked Questions
What is an HTTP status code?
An HTTP status code is a three-digit number returned by a web server indicating whether a request was successful. Common codes include 200 (OK), 301 (Moved Permanently), 404 (Not Found), and 500 (Server Error).
How do I check if a website is down?
Enter the URL in the HTTP Status Checker. A 200 response means the site is up. Status codes 5xx indicate server errors, while connection timeouts suggest the server is unreachable.
What HTTP status code is best for SEO?
A 200 OK status code is ideal for pages you want indexed. Use 301 redirects for permanently moved content to preserve link equity. Avoid soft 404s where pages return 200 but show error content.
