HTTP/HTTPS Request Tester
Test HTTP(S) URLs: check status codes, follow redirects, inspect headers, and measure response times.

Enter a domain to test its HTTP response.
What this check means
The tester sends a single request to your URL, follows up to five redirects, and reports the status code, each redirect hop, the response headers, and how long the round trip took. It is the quickest way to see exactly what a browser is told when it asks for your page.
Common issues
- Redirect loops or long chains — every hop adds latency; two hops (apex → www → HTTPS) is usually the sensible maximum.
- HTTP not redirecting to HTTPS — visitors on the plain-text address never reach the encrypted site.
- Missing security headers — HSTS, X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options are quick wins that most sites still skip.
How to fix them
Collapse redirect chains at the load balancer or web server, add a permanent (301) redirect from http:// to https://, and generate the missing headers with the security header generator.
