Get HTTP Headers

About This Tool

So, you want to see what’s going on behind the scenes when a website loads? That’s where checking HTTP headers comes in. This tool lets you peek at the headers sent back by a server when you request a webpage. It’s like getting a backstage pass to how a site talks to your browser. I’ve used this kind of thing for years—debugging weird redirects, checking security settings, or just satisfying curiosity. It’s not flashy, but it’s useful. Whether you’re a dev, a tester, or just someone who likes knowing how things work, this tool gives you a clear look at what the server is saying.

FAQ

Can I use this on any website?
Pretty much. As long as the site is publicly accessible and doesn’t block HEAD or GET requests, you’re good. Some servers might limit access, but that’s rare. Just don’t go hammering it with requests—be respectful.

Why would I need to see HTTP headers?
Good question. Maybe you’re troubleshooting a 404 that shouldn’t be there. Or you want to confirm a site uses HTTPS properly. Headers tell you about caching, security policies, redirects, and server info. It’s the kind of detail that saves you time when something’s acting up.
