Email header analyzer
Paste the raw headers of an email to see its authentication results (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), the key fields, and every server hop it took — with the delay at each step and the total delivery time. Everything is parsed in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
Header analyzer FAQ
Is this email header analyzer free and private?+
Yes. It parses your headers entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded or stored. Paste the raw headers, read the analysis, and close the tab; nothing leaves your machine.
How do I get the raw headers of an email?+
In Gmail, open the message, click the three-dot menu and choose "Show original". In Outlook, open the message and use File → Properties (or "View message source"). In Apple Mail, View → Message → All Headers (or Raw Source). Copy everything from the top down to the first blank line and paste it here.
What does this tool show me?+
It reads the authentication results (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), the key fields (From, To, Subject, Date, Message-ID, Return-Path), and the full Received chain — every server hop the message passed through, in order, with the delay at each step and the total delivery time.
Why does delivery time matter for deliverability?+
Long gaps between hops can indicate greylisting, throttling, or a slow relay — all of which correlate with reputation problems. Combined with failed SPF/DKIM/DMARC, the Received chain often pinpoints exactly where a message went wrong on its way to the inbox.
