Web proxy tool

The web proxy tool routes HTTP(S) requests via a configurable gateway to observe behavior when accessed through an intermediary. It surfaces response metadata such as status, headers, body size, and latency while allowing users to adjust request characteristics. Primary users are developers, QA engineers, SEO analysts, and security researchers who need to validate how pages load through proxies or evaluate privacy implications. It is used when studying how a page loads through intermediaries, or when simulating conditions such as headers, TLS, or caching.\n
Conceptual operation and core capabilities: The tool constructs a downstream request from user inputs, enforces domain policy, and returns the proxied response. Key features include multi field inputs for URL and method, optional headers and body, privacy controls such as anonymization, header rewriting, user agent control, and referer management, as well as optional caching with TTL and performance metrics. It reports status, headers, body content, latency, and transferred size without rendering client side code.\n
Use cases and value differentiation: QA and performance teams use it to verify resource loading through proxies, compare results with direct fetches, audit header behavior, and assess privacy leakage risks. Unique strengths include explicit domain allow/deny lists, configurable request rewriting, transparent timing and size reporting, and static caching that speeds repeated checks. It is designed for analytic accuracy rather than interactive browsing.
