How it Works

The Website Source Viewer fetches the raw HTML content from your target URL via a secure proxy server and displays it exactly as the server returned it.

This effectively replicates the desktop "View Source" functionality, solving key issues:

Mobile Access: Most mobile browsers lack a "View Source" button. This HTML Viewer for Android/iOS bridges that gap.
Raw Content: It retrieves the server-side code, allowing you to view HTML source online even if right-click is disabled.

Usage Scenarios

SEO Analysis

Check if Meta tags (Title, Description) are correctly rendered in the initial HTML response.

Learning Web Dev

Inspect the structure of websites you admire to understand how they are built.

Security Checks

Quickly scan for suspicious external scripts or hidden iframes in the source code.

Mobile HTML Viewer

No need to install an app. Simply open this HTML Viewer in your mobile browser to inspect code anytime.

FAQ

Can I see code for SPA/Dynamic sites?

You will see the initial server response. If a site is a Single Page Application (SPA) heavily reliant on JS to render content, you might only see a skeletal structure. This is consistent with standard "View Source" behavior. To see the live DOM, you need "Inspect Element" on a desktop browser.

Why do some URLs fail?

Reasons include: The target site blocks proxy requests, the site is down, or it requires authentication (login). This tool can only access public pages.

Is this tool legal?

Yes. Viewing the source code of public websites is a fundamental part of how the Open Web works. As long as you don't copy protected content for misuse, it is perfectly legal for educational and analysis purposes.

Can I edit the code?

No, this is a read-only viewer. If you want to experiment with code, copy it and use our HTML Playground.

Does it work with HTTPS?

Yes, fully supported. Both HTTP and HTTPS URLs work, provided they are publicly accessible.

Can I view CSS and JS files?

This tool displays the main HTML response. If CSS/JS are inline, you will see them. If they are external files, you can copy their specific URLs and paste them here to view their source individually.
