Takedown removal checker
Sent takedown notices? Paste the links and we’ll check which ones are actually gone and which are still online.
How we decide a link is down
| Result | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 404 Not Found / 410 Gone | The page or file has been removed. |
| 451 Unavailable For Legal Reasons | The site blocked it after a legal request, often a copyright notice. |
| Domain no longer exists | The whole site is offline. |
| Still online (200) | The page still loads. Some sites show a “removed” message with a normal page, so open it to confirm. |
| 403 or other errors | The site blocked our check. Open the link yourself to see. |
Our customers don’t need this tool: their case page tracks every link and we recheck open links automatically.
Common questions
How long after a DMCA notice is content removed?
Large platforms often act within hours to a few days; smaller sites in about a week. Recheck after 3 to 7 days.
The link still works. What next?
Send a follow-up, then escalate to the web host and to Google and Bing for delisting.
Does it check search results too?
No, it checks the page itself. Search engines can take a few days to drop a removed page; a delisting request speeds that up.
