What the HTTP check measures
The tool requests the site over HTTPS, follows redirects and records the final status, the time and selected response headers. Every hop is its own row. 200 is the code you want on the final URL. 301 is a permanent move and the right redirect for SEO. 302 is temporary. 404 means missing. 5xx is a server error.
| Code | Meaning | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| 200 | The page is up | Move on to content and speed |
| 301 | Permanent redirect | Make sure every variant lands on one URL |
| 302 | Temporary redirect | Use 301 if the move is permanent |
| 403 | Forbidden | Firewall or file permissions |
| 404 | Missing | Fix the path or the redirect |
| 500+ | Server error | Application logs and hosting |
