Find out how a URL is actually served. HTTP/1.1 vs HTTP/2 vs HTTP/3, Brotli vs gzip vs nothing, cache headers, HSTS — A-F grade and a punch-list of perf wins.

What it checks

CheckWhy it matters
HTTPSModern baseline; required for HTTP/2 + HTTP/3
HTTP/2 / HTTP/3 (Alt-Svc)Repeat-visit speedup, esp. on flaky networks
Brotli vs gzip vs noneBrotli saves 15-25% over gzip; "none" leaves 70% on the table
Cache-ControlDefault browser caching is suboptimal
ETag + Last-ModifiedSkip costly re-downloads on 304 responses
HSTSPrevent first-visit downgrade attacks
Server fingerprintHelps lead-gen for managed-hosting consultancies

Input

{ "url": "https://example.com" }

Output

{
"url": "...",
"grade": "B",
"score": 75,
"protocol": {
"isHttps": true,
"altSvc": "h3=\":443\"; ma=86400",
"supportsH3": true,
"server": "Cloudflare"
},
"compression": {
"type": "br",
"contentEncoding": "br",
"sizeBytesReceived": 12340
},
"caching": {
"cacheControl": "public, max-age=3600",
"etag": "present",
"lastModified": "missing"
},
"security": {
"hsts": "max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains"
},
"issues": []
}

Use cases

  • Perf consultants — qualify prospects by which servers can be sped up with config-only fixes
  • Hosting migration prep — verify the new CDN actually does what was promised
  • Infrastructure audits — find every server still on HTTP/1.1
  • Lead enrichment — find sites running gzip → propose a Brotli config
