Loading the tool…

Enter a URL to see its status code, every redirect hop and the full list of response headers, with security and SEO headers checked.

What the server says before the page loads

HTTP response headers tell browsers and crawlers how to treat a URL: its status, where it redirects, how long to cache it, whether to index it and which security rules apply. This tool requests the URL from our server, follows redirects one hop at a time and shows every header returned.

Security headers (HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options and others) and SEO headers (X-Robots-Tag, Link, Cache-Control) are listed as present or missing.

The final status plus the code for every redirect hop.

Every response header in a sortable table.

Six common security headers marked present or missing.

X-Robots-Tag, Link canonical and caching headers.

How it works

Check headers in three steps

Request the URL, follow redirects, read the headers.

01

Enter a URL
