Headers inspector

HTTP headers and redirect checker

Follow every redirect from the address you type to the final page, then read the response: status, HTTP version, timing, compression, caching and graded security headers. Use it for redirect loops, a slow first byte or a security review.

How it works

What this checks

  • Redirect chain Every hop with its status code, location and timing, and whether http:// ends up on https://.
  • Response The status code, HTTP version and every response header the server sends.
  • Speed Time to first byte, page size and whether compression is switched on.
  • Caching and cookies Cache-Control and related headers, whether a page cache answered, and the security flags on cookies.
  • Security headers HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, frame protection, Referrer-Policy and Permissions-Policy, each graded with a suggested value.
