Sites that stupidly return a response?

Tell me a site or sites that you can connect to indefinitely many times a day, and which necessarily return a response by which I could judge that everything is OK with my Internet connection.

Anticipating the obvious answer: connect to googe/yandex/mail.ru - I don't want to use them, because they give too much unnecessary content, which in vain loads both them and the Internet channel, and secondly, they can suddenly recognize the bot and change the answer, which is also unacceptable.

The main thing is that there should be a response to a simple GET request (a simple “ok” in the body of the page will do, but it’s generally gorgeous if the site returns my HTTP headers in the form of plain text or XML or JSON) and the readiness to accept many requests.

Why not send a HEAD request?

Why would you send an http request? ICMP echo request (ping) is much more suitable for such a task ...

Why not just try to establish a connection without making the request itself?
