HTTP Status Code Health Calculator
Are broken links destroying your crawl budget? Enter your site’s status code breakdown (from a Screaming Frog or Semrush crawl) to check your technical health.
The Pulse of Your Website
When a doctor checks your pulse, they are checking for irregularities. In SEO, HTTP Status Codes are your website’s heartbeat.
Every time Googlebot visits your site, your server responds with a 3-digit code. If your site is throwing too many 404s (Not Found) or 500s (Server Errors), Google assumes your site is “sick” and stops visiting. This destroys your organic traffic.
This HTTP Status Health Calculator analyzes your crawl data to give you a clear Health Score, helping you identify if “Link Rot” is hurting your rankings.
Decoding the Numbers: A Quick Glossary
- 200 OK: “Success.” The page loaded perfectly. You want 90%+ of your internal links to be 200s.
- 301 Moved Permanently: “I moved to a new address.” Good for SEO, but too many creates Redirect Chains (latency).
- 404 Not Found: “This doesn’t exist.” If you delete a page without redirecting it, you lose all its backlinks and traffic.
- 500 Internal Server Error: “The server crashed.” The worst possible error. If Google sees this often, it will de-index your site to protect users.
Why Errors Kill Crawl Budget
Google assigns a limited “Crawl Budget” to your site. Imagine Googlebot has 100 credits to spend on your site per day.
- If it hits a 200 OK page, it spends 1 credit and indexes the content. (Good Investment)
- If it hits a 404 Error, it spends 1 credit but finds nothing. That credit is wasted forever. (Bad Investment)
If 30% of your site links are broken (404s), you are wasting 30% of your budget. This means your new content takes 30% longer to get indexed.
