Get HTTP Headers – Instantly Inspect Website Response Headers
Understanding how a website responds to a request is essential for developers, SEOs, digital marketers, and security professionals. The Get HTTP Header tool by MaxWebKit allows you to view and analyze HTTP response headers for any public URL in real time — all without needing to open your browser's DevTools or run complex terminal commands.
This tool helps you check server response codes (like 200 OK, 301 Moved Permanently, 404 Not Found, 503 Service Unavailable), redirection chains, cache settings, security policies, server type, and more — instantly.
🌐 What Are HTTP Headers?
When you access a website, your browser sends a request to the web server. The server then sends back a response, which includes the actual web content and a set of metadata called HTTP headers.
These headers tell the browser:
How to handle the response
Whether to cache it
What content type it is
If the site uses security protocols (like HSTS, CORS, CSP)
Which server software is being used
And much more
The Get HTTP Header tool helps you uncover these details by simply entering a URL.

⚙️ How It Works
When you enter a URL:
MaxWebKit sends a HEAD or GET request to that server
The server responds with HTTP headers
We instantly parse and display that information in a readable format
The tool shows both:
✅ Standard headers (like Content-Type, Cache-Control, Server)
✅ Custom headers (like X-Powered-By, X-Cache, etc.)
🔁 Common Headers You’ll See
| Header | What It Means |
|---|---|
HTTP/1.1 200 OK | The page loaded successfully |
Location | Used in redirects |
Server | Server software (Apache, Nginx, etc.) |
Content-Type | Type of returned content (HTML, JSON, etc.) |
Cache-Control | Caching rules |
Strict-Transport-Security | Enforces HTTPS-only access |
X-Frame-Options | Clickjacking protection |
Content-Security-Policy | Restricts resource loading |
