HTTP Headers Parser – Inspect and Analyze HTTP Request & Response Headers

At the Academy of Digital Marketing, we aim to simplify complex web technologies through practical tools and education. Our HTTP Headers Parser lets you analyze request and response headers from any website or server in real-time. Whether you're debugging, checking for SEO issues, or inspecting server behavior, this tool gives you a transparent view of HTTP communication.

What Are HTTP Headers?

HTTP Headers are metadata exchanged between a client (like your browser) and a server during an HTTP request or response. These headers provide crucial context—such as content type, caching policies, cookies, server type, redirect information, and more.

They play a key role in security, performance, SEO, and debugging.

Why Should You Use the "HTTP Headers Parser" Tool?

Inspecting HTTP headers helps with many technical and marketing decisions:

  • SEO Optimization: Check for canonical tags, redirect codes (301, 302), and content encoding.
  • Security Checks: Identify security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options.
  • Server Configuration Audits: Verify correct implementation of headers like cache-control, content-type, etc.
  • Troubleshooting & Debugging: See raw HTTP responses to diagnose issues with API endpoints or webpages.
  • Compliance: Ensure headers like GDPR cookies and privacy policies are implemented properly.
