Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 301 vs 302 redirect?

A 301 status indicates a permanent move, telling search engines to update their index. A 302 indicates a temporary redirect.

Why does the tool show different headers than my browser?

Some servers serve different headers based on the User-Agent. This tool uses a standard bot User-Agent.

What is the Strict-Transport-Security header?

Also known as HSTS, this security header forces browsers to only load the website over a secure HTTPS connection.

Can this tool bypass firewalls?

No. If a server blocks the request by returning a 403 Forbidden, the tool will simply display those restriction headers.
