HTTP headers lookup
Use HTTP headers lookup to inspect response headers for a URL. Review content type, caching, redirects, and security-related fields returned by the server.
HTTP headers lookup: a practical guide
HTTP headers lookup helps you inspect the response headers returned when the checking service requests a web address. Use the result to answer a specific troubleshooting question and keep the exact input with your findings so later comparisons use the same target.
How to use HTTP headers lookup
Enter a complete URL, including https:// or http://, and select Submit. Review each returned header name and value. Test the specific page or asset you are troubleshooting, since different paths on one website can return different headers.
Understanding the result
Content-Type describes the response format. Cache-Control gives caching instructions, and Location can identify a redirect destination when present. Security-related headers describe individual controls, but their presence alone does not establish that a website is secure.
Common questions
Why do headers differ from what my browser shows?
A server or CDN may vary a response by request headers, region, authentication, or cache state. Compare requests made under equivalent conditions when investigating a difference.
Can a missing header explain every issue?
No. Headers provide one part of the response. Page markup, redirects, certificates, and application behavior may need separate checks.
