CORS Header Checker Guide

What this guide covers

Use this CORS Header Checker to fetch a URL and inspect common CORS response headers such as Access-Control-Allow-Origin, Access-Control-Allow-Methods, Access-Control-Allow-Headers, Access-Control-Allow-Credentials, and Vary. It is useful for debugging browser requests, API integrations, frontend issues, and basic cross-origin configuration checks.
