URL Checker
Check if a link is working before you share it.
What it does
- Takes a URL as input
- Sends a request to that URL
- Reports the HTTP status code
- Follows any redirects and shows the final destination
- Tells you if the link is safe to post or if it is broken
Status results
| Status | Meaning | Action |
|---|---|---|
| 200 | Link is live and working | Safe to post |
| 301/302 | Link redirects somewhere | Check the final URL |
| 404 | Page not found | Do not post — find the correct link |
| 403 | Access forbidden | Check manually before using |
| 500 | Server error | Try again later |
