Are you sure that browsers and search engines are seeing your site they way you expect them to? Well, there are things under the covers that aren’t visible to the naked eye and HTTP headers are one of these. Conveniently, there’s a Header Checker online that lets you see what’s going on. So, let’s say we have a website that sells diet pills. Here’s the result:
Fetching www.slimmingpillsreview.com …
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Sat, 04 Jul 2009 23:21:06 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.10
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.9
X-Pingback: http://www.slimmingpillsreview.com/xmlrpc.php
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
This tells me there are no redirects on the page (which can throw search engines off); the sute runs on Apache with PHP 5 available and there’s a Pingback port available for the site. Cool huh?
Check out the header checker.
