Common mistakes

The URL is missing a protocol or is malformed.

Fix: Use a full valid URL when running the check.

The user expects body content instead of headers.

Redirects affect which headers are finally shown.

Fix: Check the redirect chain separately if the final headers do not match the original URL.
