Why the raw HTML is different from what you see in a browser

A browser renders a page for you - running JavaScript, applying styles, building out dynamic content - but the raw HTML a server actually sends over the wire is what this tool shows. That raw response is exactly what search engine crawlers, scrapers, and many automated tools see first, before any client-side script has a chance to run.

What this is useful for

Confirming meta tags, canonical URLs, Open Graph tags, or structured data (schema.org JSON-LD) are actually present in the server response - not just rendered into the page later by JavaScript - is a common SEO debugging need this tool answers directly, without digging through browser developer tools or a "view-source:" prefix. It's equally useful for checking whether a page is properly server-rendering its core content, which matters for both SEO and sites that need to work with JavaScript disabled or limited.

Why some pages look "empty" or different from what you expect

Many modern sites render most of their visible content with client-side JavaScript frameworks, meaning the raw HTML this tool fetches can look sparse - a shell with little visible text - even though the page looks completely normal and full of content in a regular browser. That gap itself is useful information: it tells you how much of a page's content depends on JavaScript actually executing, which matters for how well search engines and non-JavaScript tools can read it.

The size limit

Pages are fetched up to roughly 1 MB of HTML; anything beyond that is truncated, with a note shown so you know the output was cut off rather than being the complete page.

자주 묻는 질문

Does this run the page's JavaScript?

No - it shows exactly what the server sends back, before any client-side JavaScript modifies the page. For sites that render most content client-side, this will look different from what you see in a browser.

Why is the output cut off for some pages?

Fetched source is capped at about 1 MB to keep requests fast and reasonable - very large pages will be truncated at that point.

Why would I want the raw source instead of just using my browser's "View Source"?

This works the same way and gives the identical result, but without needing to open developer tools or type a view-source: URL yourself - useful for a fast check on a device or workflow where that's inconvenient.

Why does a page that looks full of content show almost nothing in the raw source?

That page likely renders most of its content with client-side JavaScript after the initial load - the raw HTML this tool fetches is only the server's initial response, before that JavaScript runs.

Can I use this to check if my meta tags are set up correctly?

Yes - search the fetched source for your title tag, meta description, canonical link, and Open Graph tags to confirm they're present exactly as intended in what the server actually sends, which is what matters for SEO and social sharing previews.
