Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about using our source code viewer.
view-source: is a special URL scheme supported by most modern web browsers (like Chrome, Firefox, and Edge). When you put it before a website's URL, the browser doesn't render the page visually. Instead, it displays the raw HTML source code that was sent from the server, exactly as the browser sees it before processing.
Absolutely. This tool operates entirely within your browser and our server. The URL you enter is processed by PHP on our server just to generate the link, but we do not store, log, or analyze any of the URLs you submit. The final action of viewing the source code happens locally on your computer, between your browser and the target website.
Both are powerful tools with different primary uses. Developer tools (F12) show the 'live' or 'computed' DOM, which includes changes made by JavaScript after the page loads. The view-source: command shows the original, static HTML document sent by the server. This is incredibly useful for SEO analysis (to see what search engine crawlers see), initial page structure debugging, and seeing how a site is built without JavaScript's influence.
It works on the vast majority of public websites. However, some websites may employ security measures that can interfere with viewing the source directly. Also, this method will not work for pages that are behind a login or a paywall, as the browser needs public access to fetch the source code.
