About This Tool
Header inspection is now returned as an optional `headers` section in the unified scrape response. Enable `extract.headers` to collect raw response headers and a summarized security review in one call.
This is a convenient way to combine content scraping with header-level diagnostics.
Why Use This Tool
- Security review — Check whether key response headers are present
- Infrastructure debugging — Inspect compression, content type, and caching behavior
- Compliance checks — Verify a baseline set of security protections
- Monitoring — Watch for unexpected header regressions over time
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a standalone endpoint now?

Should I use this or the SEO audit endpoint?
Use this when you want the raw header view. Use SEO audit when you want broader page-level analysis.
Can this be combined with page content extraction?
Yes — that is one of the main advantages of the unified endpoint.
