While making Http Header request server will respond with following things (Method, HTTP-Version, URI, Date, Connection, Authorization, If-Modified-Since, Content-Length, Content-Type)

There are seven http status codes that we will study now (200, 301, 302, 304, 307, 404, and 410)

200 OK: Success, Server is online and URL is ok.

301 Moved Permanently: URL requested has been permanently moved to new location, so if you try to access the current URL browser will get redirected to new assigned URL.

302 Found: URL requested is temporarily moved to another location. Currently while accessing this URL from browser you will get redirected.

304 Not Modified: In thins case while making 'GET' request to the server, If the document is not been modified, the server will respond with 304 status code. The 304 responding URL should not contain message-body.


307 Temporary Redirect: Requested URL has been moved temporarily to another location but this response is only cacheable if indicated by a Cache-Control or Expires header field.

404 Not Found: web server not able to find requested URI.

410 Gone: Resource you requested is no longer available on this server and neither going to be available in future, this is done purposefully for removing the URL or content from linking resources such as websites or search engines.

Sometime a website can be using various types of redirections and if you installed any header redirection then you need to check the header of the website that if it is returning the proper response header, seo41.com HTTP header checker works with both HTTP and HTTPS Url’s , When Http header checker returns the status code the you must check if it returned one of the following status code in the response header Codes (200, 301, 302, 304, 307, 404, 410) that are returned as the server header.

Server header response that has been returned using HTTP header checker will show various other kinds of information and you can check the type of character encoding used by the HTTP header of the server

While accessing the page via browser a person won’t be able to see the HTTP header status, but browser and various types of crawlers will always check the HTTP header response of the webpage before downloading the content of the webpage. So after browser and crawlers checked the header response then they will decide whether the page exist or not exist or if there is redirectional url in the header then they will follow the link found in the header of the response header returned by HTTP header checker.
