SSL/TLS & Website
HTTP status check
The status code your homepage answers with. Anything but a success means visitors and search engines are not seeing your site.
Check this on your own domain now. It is free with a DomainGuard account, reads only public records, and gives you a report you can send to whoever runs your website.
What we look at
We request your homepage and record the HTTP status code and message.
Why it matters to your business
A 4xx or 5xx answer means an error page instead of your website, and search engines drop pages that keep answering with errors.
How to fix it
- Open the homepage and see what visitors see.
- For 5xx errors, check your host's status page and error logs; for 403 or 404, check the site's configuration or firewall rules.
If you would rather not touch DNS or server settings yourself, forward this page and your report to whoever manages your website, or ask us to do it.
Keep an eye on it
A one-off check tells you how things stand today. On Starter and up, DomainGuard re-checks the domains it watches every day and alerts you in the app when something important changes, so you hear about it before a customer does.
