• I will check/check out that website: to check a website is to look for something specific; to check it out is to take a look around in a general way. In practice there is a lot of overlap between the two.
  
  I have to check the soup and see if it's boiling.
  I want to check out that new store downtown and see what they sell.
  
  I am going to check/check out my bag to see if I have everything in it.
  
  We'd probably say "check my bag," although you have to be careful because "to check a bag" also means, for example, to leave it at a hotel desk or airport baggage area. Again:
  
  I'm going to check my bag and see if my sunglasses are in there.
  I'm going to check out the new bag they're selling in the store downtown.
