Frequently asked questions
What are HTTP response headers?
They are response metadata that tell browsers, crawlers, and intermediary services how a resource should be handled.
How can I check the HTTP status of a URL?
Enter a public URL. Seolora follows its available redirects and shows the final status returned by the Fetch Core.
What does Content-Type mean?
It identifies the type of resource returned, such as HTML, XML, PDF, an image, JSON, or another file type.
What does Cache-Control do?
It communicates how a response may be stored, reused, or revalidated by browsers and shared caches.
What is X-Robots-Tag?
It is an HTTP header that can provide crawler directives such as noindex, including for resources such as PDFs.
Can X-Robots-Tag prevent a PDF from being indexed?
Yes. A noindex directive in the header can tell search engines not to index a PDF or another non-HTML resource.
Why is Content-Length missing?
It is optional. Streaming or chunked responses may not provide a Content-Length header.
What is the difference between HTTP headers and HTML meta tags?
HTTP headers are sent with the response. HTML meta tags are part of an HTML document and do not exist for every resource type.
Can HTTP headers affect SEO?
Status, redirects, content type, and crawler directives can affect how a resource is handled. Their effect depends on the resource and configuration.
