Enter a URL
Every page you see is built from source code. Browsers render it and hide the raw text. This tool fetches that raw HTML for you. Enter any page URL to start. You get the code the server sent. The source shows meta tags and titles. It shows scripts styles and link tags. It shows the full page structure. SEOs read it to audit pages fast. Students read it to learn real HTML. It beats hunting through browser dev tools. It works on phones where view source is missing. The fetch is free and instant. Copy any part you need for study. No signup is ever required. Search bots read this same raw code first. What you see here is close to what they see. That makes it the right view for SEO checks. Styling and scripts come later. The HTML is the foundation.
What does the source code viewer show
It shows the raw HTML of a page. It includes head tags and body markup. It lists scripts and styles too. It is the code the server sent.
How is this different from inspect element
Inspect shows the live changed page. This tool shows the original server HTML. Search bots see this version first. It is better for SEO checks.
Can I view source on mobile
Yes this tool works on phones. Mobile browsers lack a view source option. Paste the URL here instead. You get the full code.
Why does the fetch fail for some pages
Some sites block automated fetches. Login walls also stop the tool. JavaScript heavy pages may send little HTML. Try the page in a browser instead.
What should I check first in the source
Start with the title tag and meta description. Then check the canonical tag. Then look for noindex or nofollow tags. These shape SEO the most.
Is it legal to view page source
Reading public source code is normal. Browsers download it to show the page. Do not copy content you do not own. Respect copyright on text and images.
What is minified code
Minified code has all extra spaces removed. Sites do this to load faster. It is harder for people to read. Paste it into a code formatter to expand it.
Is the source viewer free
Yes it is free with no signup. View code of any public page. Copy and study it freely.
Read the code behind any page in seconds. It is the fastest way to learn how the web is built. One honest look teaches more than a long tutorial.
