Why does this need a server, unlike most tools here?

Fetching an arbitrary URL from your browser is blocked by CORS on most sites, so this specific check runs through this site's own server instead — the one thing here that genuinely can't run client-side.

Does this tool store the URLs I check?

No — the check is performed and the result returned; nothing is logged or stored.

HTTP Status Checker

Check the HTTP status code a URL returns, following any redirects.

URL

The URL is fetched from our server (an arbitrary cross-origin fetch isn't possible directly from your browser) — the target site sees this server's request, not your IP, and nothing about the check is stored.
