Questions
What is an HTTP status code?
An HTTP status code is a three-digit number a website’s server includes in its response. It tells the client whether the request succeeded, moved, was refused, or failed.
What does 200 OK mean?
200 OK means the server understood the request and returned a successful response for that URL.
What do 301 and 302 mean?
301 Moved Permanently and 302 Found mean the resource is at a different URL. This checker may follow a small bounded number of redirects to report the final status. A dedicated Redirect Checker is the place for hop-by-hop analysis.
What does 404 Not Found mean?
404 Not Found means the server responded, but it has no resource at that URL.
What does 500 Internal Server Error mean?
500 Internal Server Error means the server accepted the request but failed while handling it. The problem is on the website, not in the URL syntax.
Does this checker follow redirects?
It may follow a small bounded number of redirects to determine the final response. Detailed redirect-chain analysis belongs to a dedicated Redirect Checker.
Why might the result differ from what I see in my browser?
Browsers can send cookies, extra headers, or a different request path, and they may cache or block responses. This checker sends a simple server-side GET from IngoHub infrastructure, so the status can differ.
Can I check localhost or a private network address?
No. Only public HTTP and HTTPS URLs can be checked. Localhost and private network addresses are rejected.
Is this a website speed test?
No. Response time is how long IngoHub’s checker waited for the website to answer. It is not your browser’s latency and is not a full performance test.
