What is an HTTP Header Checker?

An HTTP Header Checker is a tool that allows you to view the metadata sent by a web server when a URL is requested. These headers contain vital information about the server, the content type, caching instructions, security policies, and more.

Why check HTTP headers?

  • Debugging website redirect issues
  • Verifying security header implementation
  • Checking server-side caching (Cache-Control, ETag)
  • Analyzing server response times and status codes
  • Identifying server software and technology stacks

Why correct headers matter?

"Correct HTTP headers ensure your site is secure, fast, and search-engine friendly. They are the backbone of modern web communication."

Did you know?

The Content-Security-Policy (CSP) header can provide a powerful layer of security to detect and mitigate certain types of attacks, including Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and data injection.
