Bulk URL Checker - Batch HTTP Status & Redirect Tracking for 100 URLs, SSRF-Protected

Why I built this

Checking URLs one at a time during a site migration or relaunch is tedious, and the tools that do it in bulk for free - Ahrefs, SEMrush, Screaming Frog - gate that behind a paid plan. So I built Bulk URL Checker for ForgePlug: a free batch URL checker that handles up to 100 URLs per run, no account required.

What it does

• Check status codes, full redirect chains, and response latency for up to 100 URLs at once
• Three ways to feed it URLs: paste directly, upload a CSV (auto-detects the URL column), or parse a sitemap
• Follows up to 20 redirect hops, recording the status code and Location header at each step
• Streams results in real time as each URL finishes, instead of making you wait for the whole batch
• Export as a formatted text report or properly-escaped CSV

SSRF protection

Since it fetches arbitrary URLs server-side, every redirect destination is validated against private IP ranges (10.x.x.x, 192.168.x.x, 169.254.169.254) before it's followed - so it can't be tricked into hitting internal infrastructure. No URLs are stored; everything lives only for the active session.

Details

Runs server-side (Node.js) with a concurrency pool of 10 simultaneous requests. Free tier caps at 100 URLs per run - a commercial plan is planned for unlimited batches, scheduled re-checks, and branded reporting.

Would love feedback, especially from anyone running site migrations or link audits.
