Does anybody know of a good bulk import http response checker? The one I was using has disappeared and I can only find checkers that only take one URL at a time.

Did the SEObook tool in the link below solve your problem, or are you still looking for a tool?

so far no luck!

Hey,

The Crawl Test includes the http status code for each page if that's what you're after. Then you can download it as a .CSV

EDIT - Didn't realise this was PRO but you could always do the free trial

Check out Screaming Frog - It's an SEO spider that crawls your site pretty quickly - giving a multitude of useful seo data - including response headers. Two drawbacks: 1) it costs roughly $130 and 2) it has difficulty crawling sites with more than 100K pages. I believe Audette Media is coming out with an industrial strength crawler this summer but don't have a lot details yet. Hope this helps.

Hi Anthony - we found Screaming Frog a few weeks ago. Definitely a solid tool.

Not sure if we are attempting to do the same thing but in looking at the tools recommended here not sure they do what we are looking for. We would like to take a list of 100,000 URL's and have some software check the response code for each one. We don't want it to crawl a site just the individual URL provided and then go on to the next one in the list.

Anyone know of a tool that can do this?

Thanks,

Jeremy

Jeremy/Kurt - I'm in the same boat. Have 75K URLs I'm trying to check as part of a link pruning project.

There's actually another Moz Forum post (http://moz.com/community/q/mass-404-checker) that has a very similar ask and responses are largely the same.

Below is a link that was mentioned in this post, but I've tried it a few times and it keeps getting hung up on any list over 100 URLs.

Below are the only other ones I've found, but again are limited to 100 or less URLs.

I feel like this is such a common problem for people trying to do any kind of mass back link research project. I'm also looking for something that checks follow vs nofollow so I can further narrow my list.

Maybe we should just create the tool? : )

As the thread discusses, a while back we started using Screaming Frog and love it.  Recommended.

I looked at screaming frog, I didn't see anything that indicated how you would provide a file of thousands of URL's on the same domain to be checked? And I don't want to crawl the website, I just want it to check the 1 url and provide a response then go to the next one. Where would one find this feature in screaming frog?

Jeremy - it's available in the free version and if you click on Mode > List you can upload a file. I'm crawling 75K URLs and had to manually increase my memory so it would crawl faster.

Instructions on that here:

Good luck!

screaming frog does not seem to export the whole chain though when there is more than one redirect in a chain. Did you experience the same thing, as  it may be a glitch on my side?
