Bulk URL Status Checker

Check the live HTTP status of up to 20 URLs at once, with redirects and timing per link.

The Bulk URL Status Checker tests many links at once and reports how each one responds. You paste a list of URLs, one per line, and the tool checks up to twenty of them, returning the final status code, the number of redirects and the total response time for each link in a single table. Instead of testing links one at a time, you get an at-a-glance overview of which pages are healthy and which need attention.

This is the tool to reach for when you have a whole list to verify: a sitemap sample, a set of campaign links, a batch of outbound references in an article, or the URLs from a spreadsheet you are cleaning up. Each URL is checked server-side so the tool can follow redirects and read status codes that a browser would block, and any link that is invalid or unreachable is flagged inline in the table rather than silently dropped.

To be a good citizen of the sites it checks, the tool processes the list with limited concurrency rather than hammering every URL simultaneously, and it caps each run at twenty links so a single check stays fast and predictable. The result is a clean summary you can scan in seconds, export for a report, or use as a checklist for fixing broken links. Only the URLs you submit are used to run the checks.

Features

  • Checks up to twenty URLs in a single run, one per line.
  • Shows the final status code, redirect count and total time for every link.
  • Follows redirects server-side so the final status reflects the real destination.
  • Flags invalid or unreachable URLs inline in the table instead of dropping them.
  • Processes links with limited concurrency to stay fast without overloading sites.
  • Summarises how many links were reachable versus how many need attention.
  • Exports the results table to CSV or XLSX, or copies it for a link-audit report.

How to use Bulk URL Status Checker

  1. Paste your URLs into the input box, one per line, up to twenty at a time.
  2. Press the Check button to run the batch of live, server-side status lookups.
  3. Scan the status column to spot any links returning 404, 500 or other error codes.
  4. Check the redirects column to find links taking an unnecessarily long path.
  5. Review the reachable-count stat for a quick sense of the list's overall health.
  6. Export or copy the table to share the results or track which links still need fixing.

Benefits

  • Content teams audit all the outbound links in an article or page in one pass.
  • SEO specialists sample sitemap URLs to confirm they return healthy status codes.
  • Marketers verify a whole batch of campaign links before a send goes out.
  • Developers smoke-test a list of deployed endpoints after a release.
  • Support teams confirm which of several reported pages are genuinely down.
  • Anyone with a list of links can find the broken ones without checking each by hand.

Broken links accumulate quietly. A page that returned 200 last quarter can turn into a 404 after a site restructure, and a campaign link can rot when a landing page is retired. Checking links in bulk turns that slow decay into a visible list you can act on, which is far more practical than opening each URL in a browser tab and reading the result by hand.

The status and redirect columns work together to tell the full story. A 200 with zero redirects is the healthiest result. A 301 or 302 followed by a 200 is usually fine but means the link could be updated to point directly at its destination. A 404 or 500 needs fixing, and a high redirect count hints at an inefficient path worth simplifying. Reading the two columns side by side makes each link's health obvious.

Every check is performed server-side so redirects are followed and status codes are read reliably even across domains, and the tool limits how many requests run at once to avoid overwhelming the sites being tested. The twenty-URL cap keeps each run responsive; for a single link with a detailed hop-by-hop breakdown, use the HTTP Status Code Checker or the Redirect Chain Checker, which show the complete journey for one URL at a time.
