EXISTING AND MISSING PAGES · TS03
A page is gone.
Does your site say so?
Choose examples on the same site. We’ll read each address’s response after your confirmation.
Available here: HTTP observations. A TSEP verdict for real URLs is not yet available.
What this workflow covers
Anonymous reading of the initial HTTP response: up to 5 seconds and 1024 KiB per address, without following redirects or running JavaScript. Existing, removed and nonexistent states are declared by you.
The current TS03 engine only evaluates fictional .invalid matrices. These real observations prepare evidence; they produce no C, NC, NT or NA status and do not classify soft 404s. Real-world assessment requires a qualified engine extension.
Expected: 200 for an existing page, 404 or 410 for a missing page without a replacement. For a replacement destination, use TS02. Content is not assessed.
