Bulk Link Status Checker
Paste a list of URLs and HEAD-request each one in your browser. Instantly see which return 2xx, which redirect, and which are broken. Note: cross-origin URLs require CORS headers to be inspectable.
URL list
Paste URLs (one per line)
Each must include the protocol (https://). Works best for URLs on your own domain — external URLs often return CORS errors.
How to Use This Tool
Four things to understand before running a check.
Your own domain works best
If you control the server, configure CORS to allow self-origin requests. Then this tool can audit hundreds of URLs in seconds.
External URLs usually block
Most sites don't set Access-Control-Allow-Origin headers for HEAD requests. Those URLs will show as CORS. Not your fault — that's browser security.
Browsers only see final status
The browser's fetch API silently follows redirects and only exposes the final response. For chain inspection, use our Redirect Chain Visualizer with curl output.
For full site crawls, use Screaming Frog
Server-side crawlers bypass CORS and can follow chains. This tool is perfect for quick spot-checks of a handful of URLs on your own site.
Link Status Check FAQ
Why do I see CORS errors on most URLs?
Browsers block cross-origin HTTP requests by default. This tool can only check URLs on sites that allow cross-origin requests (Access-Control-Allow-Origin). For a full crawl, use a server-side tool like Screaming Frog, or run this against your own domain where you control CORS.
Can I check redirect CHAINS with this tool?
No — browsers transparently follow redirects and only expose the final status. For chain visualisation, paste curl -IL output into our Redirect Chain Visualizer tool.
What does "broken" mean?
The URL returned a 4xx or 5xx response. That's a broken link on your site. Fix by either 301-ing to the replacement or restoring content. Broken internal links leak crawl budget and hurt UX.
Is anything sent externally?
Only to the URLs you paste. The tool uses your browser's fetch API to HEAD-request each URL. No third-party server sees your list.
