HTTP response headers reveal important information about server configuration, security policies, caching behavior, and content settings. This tool fetches headers from any URL and displays them in a readable format, with notes about important security headers.

Note: Due to browser CORS restrictions, this tool uses a CORS proxy or may have limited results for some URLs. For full header inspection, use browser DevTools or command-line tools like curl.

FAQ

Why are some headers missing?

Browser CORS policies may filter certain headers. The fetch API only exposes CORS-safe headers by default. For full headers, use browser DevTools (Network tab).

What security headers should I look for?

Important security headers include Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Strict-Transport-Security, and Referrer-Policy.

Is my data safe when I use HTTP Header Checker?

Yes. All calculations run entirely in your browser. Your data is never sent to a server, stored in a database, or shared with anyone. You can use this tool with complete confidence that your information remains private.
