What is HttpStatus?
HttpStatus is a diagnostic utility operated by httpstatus.io that allows webmasters and developers to inspect the server response of a specific URL. Unlike automated crawlers that index the web, this bot only visits a page when a user explicitly requests a check through the service's interface. It provides transparency into how a server handles requests, including redirect loops, 404 errors, and header metadata.

Why it crawls your site
The bot crawls to provide users with real-time data regarding their website's server-side behavior. It fetches the requested URL to capture the HTTP response headers and status codes, which are then displayed to the user to help them debug configuration issues. You can verify the operator by visiting the URL provided in the User-Agent string, which leads directly to the service's documentation and contact information.
Block or allow HttpStatus
Add a Disallow rule for HttpStatus in your robots.txt file. You can also block at the server level using your web server configuration or CDN firewall rules to filter requests matching the user-agent string.
# Block HttpStatus from crawling your entire site User-agent: HttpStatus Disallow: / # Allow HttpStatus full access User-agent: HttpStatus Allow: /
Ensure your robots.txt allows HttpStatus. Verify requests by checking the user-agent string.
