Get HTTP Headers
Quickly see your site’s HTTP headers—no fluff, just facts.
About This Tool
So, you’re poking around a website and wondering what’s going on behind the scenes? Maybe you’re debugging, checking security settings, or just curious. That’s where getting HTTP headers comes in. It’s not flashy, but it’s useful as hell when you need to see what the server is actually sending back—stuff like status codes, content types, caching rules, and sometimes even server software versions. This isn’t some magic trick. It’s just asking the server, “Hey, what are you sending with your response?” And then showing you the raw headers. Simple, but powerful when you know how to use it.Key Features
- Shows full HTTP response headers from any URL you throw at it
- Works with both HTTP and HTTPS—no extra setup needed
- Displays status codes (like 200, 404, 500) so you know if the request succeeded or failed
- Reveals server info, caching directives, and content-type details
- No login, no tracking—just paste a URL and go
- Useful for developers, sysadmins, or anyone troubleshooting web issues
FAQ
Q: Can I use this on any website?
A: Technically, yes—but only if the site allows public access. If it’s behind a login or blocks bots, you might get a 403 or no response at all. Also, don’t go hammering random sites; that’s just rude.
Q: Why would I care about headers?
A: Because they tell you a lot. Is the site using HTTPS properly? Is it caching correctly? Is there a redirect loop? Headers give you the clues. Plus, if you’re building or fixing something, they’re often the first place to look when things go sideways.
