What it answers

HTTP Header Analyzer in four questions.

What your cache headers really do

Cache-Control is the most misconfigured line on the web; the analyzer shows how edges and browsers will actually treat each directive combination.

Which security headers are missing

CSP, HSTS, frame and content-type protections, present, absent, or present-but-wrong.

Whether compression is working

What was negotiated, what should have been, and what the difference costs in bytes.

What to fix first

One prioritized list, ordered by user-visible impact rather than alphabetical completeness.

Under the hood

How it works.

A transparent look at exactly what the tool checks, and how it reaches its answer.

DETECTIONHow it works
Live fetch & parse · your URL, real response

Fetches the URL and decodes the response exactly as delivered, including the intermediary fingerprints along the way.

Core
Directive interpretation · the hard part

Header combinations are evaluated the way real caches resolve them, including the conflicts and precedence rules that trip people up.

Core
Best-practice grading · current, not 2018

Graded against present-day guidance, including the security-header baseline we apply in assessments.

Core
Fix generation · copyable output

Findings come with concrete corrected header values you can paste into a config.

Use cases

Who it’s for.

Performance audits

The fastest way to find the caching mistake that’s tanking your hit ratio.

Security baselines

Verify the header baseline before the pen test finds it for you.

Pre-launch checks

One paste per environment, staging surprises caught before production.

Core Web Vitals prep

Cache and compression headers are the cheapest CWV wins available.

Built on assessment data

The toolkit automates the detection and benchmark data behind the assessments we already run, the tools are how we prove the data is good.

Free, no signup, shareable

Every tool ships free with shareable reports; the business model is the advisory behind it, not your email address.

Available now (beta)

The tool is live now in public beta — free to run, with detection we keep refining as we expand our signature coverage.

Want the answer before the tool exists? A free assessment runs the same analysis, human-graded, usually within 24 hours, and gives you a benchmark against pooled volume pricing.

FAQ

HTTP Header Analyzer questions,
answered straight.

Is the analyzer live?

It’s live now in public beta in the CDN World toolkit — free to run. tools page.

Will it be free?

Yes, free with no signup, like every tool in the kit.

How is this different from viewing headers in DevTools?

DevTools shows you the headers; the analyzer tells you what they mean together: how caches will resolve conflicting directives, which security headers are absent, and what to change first, graded by the ruleset we use in paid assessments.

Does it check request headers too?

The first release focuses on responses, where nearly all of the fixable problems live; request-side analysis is on the roadmap.

Can it scan a whole site?

Launch scope is per-URL with shareable reports; crawling comes later.
