I used the --write-out switch to make a small shell script that would
tell me quickly how fast a site is, and whether it redirects

curl -skL -o /dev/null -w
"%{http_code},%{time_total},%{num_redirects},%{url_effective}\n"
www.kwlug.org
200,0.370061,2,https://kwlug.org/

This says that there were 2 redirects, the end HTTP code is 200 (good), and
it took 0.37 seconds to serve the request.

In your case, you can do something like this:

curl -skL -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}\n%{header_json}\n" www.kwlug.org
200
