Meta Charset Checker
Without a declared character set, special characters and umlauts can turn into garbage. The tool reads the charset declaration of a page.
Checked by our server, free and without an account

What the tool looks at
- Presence of the charset declaration.
- The declared encoding.
How it works
- Enter the address. Only public web addresses on the standard ports are accepted.
- Our server fetches what the check needs once, with its own honest bot name, and evaluates it.
- You get the evaluated values with a short explanation. Nothing from the page is stored.
