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
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| HTTPS | Modern baseline; required for HTTP/2 + HTTP/3 |
| HTTP/2 / HTTP/3 (Alt-Svc) | Repeat-visit speedup, esp. on flaky networks |
| Brotli vs gzip vs none | Brotli saves 15-25% over gzip; "none" leaves 70% on the table |
| Cache-Control | Default browser caching is suboptimal |
| ETag + Last-Modified | Skip costly re-downloads on 304 responses |
| HSTS | Prevent first-visit downgrade attacks |
| Server fingerprint | Helps 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
