Enter a URL
The Get Source Code of Webpage tool requests a public URL and displays the response body returned by the web server. For a normal HTML page, this usually means the HTML source delivered during that request. It can help website owners, developers and students inspect public markup without opening a browser's built-in source viewer.
The output is limited to what the target server sends to this tool. It does not reveal private server-side code, databases, passwords or files that are not publicly returned. It also does not bypass authentication, permissions, paywalls or other access controls.
Include the specific public page path when needed. Do not enter login links containing tokens, private preview URLs, internal network addresses or confidential query parameters.
The current controller prepares the submitted URL and retrieves it with a server-side HTTP request. The displayed result is the body returned to that request. A typical document may include HTML elements, metadata, inline styles, inline scripts and references to separate resources.
If the target returns an error page, redirect response, challenge or non-HTML content, the output may differ from the source expected by the user. The tool does not guarantee that every submitted address returns a normal HTML document.
Page source is the document returned by the server. After a browser receives it, JavaScript can add, remove or change elements. The browser's current document structure after those changes is often called the rendered or live DOM.
This tool does not run a full interactive browser and execute every script before collecting the output. Therefore, content created only after JavaScript runs may be missing from the retrieved source. Use browser developer tools when you need to inspect the live DOM or behavior after interaction.
HTML sent to a visitor is public by nature and can normally be inspected. Inline CSS and JavaScript included in the response may also be visible. References to external files can show where the browser would request those resources.
PHP, database queries, server configuration and application secrets execute or remain on the server. A correctly configured server returns only the generated output, not the private PHP source. This tool cannot recover private backend code from a normal public page.
If server-side source code is accidentally exposed publicly, that is a serious configuration problem that the website owner should fix. Public visibility does not grant permission to misuse credentials or confidential information.
The <title> element provides the document title used by browsers and may be considered by search engines. Check whether it exists and is appropriate for the specific page. A title in the source does not guarantee that a search engine will display exactly the same wording.
A page can include a meta description in its head section. It may help describe the page, but search engines can select other text for a result snippet. There is no guarantee that the submitted description will always be shown.
Look for robots meta directives that may affect indexing or link following. HTTP headers can also contain robots directives, but this page displays the response body and may not present every response header needed for a full check.
A canonical link element can indicate the preferred URL for substantially similar pages. Check that it points to the intended public HTTPS URL and does not accidentally reference another page or environment.
HTML headings and paragraphs can reveal the server-delivered content structure. When content is inserted only through JavaScript, it may not appear in this result even though a browser displays it later.
Image elements can contain source references, dimensions and alternative text. This tool shows the markup returned in the document; it does not download or visually inspect every referenced image.
Anchor elements can reveal internal and external destinations included in the initial HTML. Links added later by scripts may be absent. Relative links also require the page URL for correct interpretation.
Some pages include JSON-LD or other structured markup. Viewing it can help find obvious implementation errors, but use a suitable validator to check syntax and eligibility. Presence of markup does not guarantee a rich search result.
The source may show inline code and URLs for external resources. It does not automatically retrieve the full contents of each linked file. A script reference also does not prove that the script executed successfully.
A security service may return an access-denied page or challenge to automated requests. The target can open in your browser while returning different content to the server running this tool.
Some applications send a small HTML shell and load most content through JavaScript. The source response can therefore look nearly empty even though the rendered page has many visible elements.
Websites can personalize output based on cookies, IP region, headers or authentication. The tool does not share your normal browser session, so it may receive another version.
HTTP-to-HTTPS, hostname and page redirects can change the final content. Compare the submitted address with the canonical and final URL when diagnosing an unexpected result.
A temporary 403, 404, 429 or 5xx response can produce an error document rather than the intended page. Check the live HTTP status separately and try again later when appropriate.
Source inspection can help locate a title, description, canonical link, robots directive, language attribute, headings and structured data. It can also reveal duplicate tags or environment URLs accidentally left in the document.
However, source inspection alone is not a full SEO audit. It does not show all HTTP headers, crawl history, indexing decisions, rendered content, performance, backlinks or content quality. Search engines may render JavaScript and select their own snippets or canonical signals.
Use the result as evidence about one retrieved response at one time. Confirm important issues through live URL inspection, server configuration and browser rendering.
noindex directives.Public HTML should never contain passwords, private keys, database credentials or unrestricted secret tokens. Comments and inline scripts can accidentally expose internal details. Website owners should review production output and move secrets to protected server-side configuration.
This tool is not a vulnerability scanner. Finding a framework name or script URL does not prove that a website is insecure. Security decisions require current versions, configuration, server evidence and authorized testing.
Being able to view public source does not transfer copyright or ownership. Do not copy another website's design, text, scripts or paid assets without the required permission or license. Use public source for legitimate learning, troubleshooting and authorized review.
Do not use the tool to seek private information, evade restrictions or interfere with another service. Respect the website's terms and applicable law.
No. PHP normally runs on the server, and only its generated response is sent to the requester. The tool displays the returned content, not private backend files.
Not necessarily. The controller performs an HTTP retrieval rather than a complete interactive browser render. Use developer tools to inspect the live DOM.
No. It does not share your authenticated browser session or bypass access controls. Do not submit credentials or private login URLs.
No. The HTML can contain references to those files, but the tool does not assemble a complete offline copy of the website.
The target may return different responses based on headers, cookies, location, redirects or automated-access rules. Compare the final URL and request conditions.
No. Search-engine crawling and rendering can involve different user agents, resources and processing. Use the search engine's own inspection tools for that question.
Only when you own the code or have permission and the necessary licenses. Public visibility is not permission to copy.
