Try it now

1. Chrome: the view-source prefix

  1. Open the page in Chrome.
  2. Tap the address bar and type view-source: in front of the address, so it reads view-source:https://temp.cool.
  3. Tap Go.

Chrome shows the raw HTML. Long lines wrap, and there are no extras like search or a report.

2. Any browser: viewhtmlonline

Type viewhtmlonline.com/ in front of the address, or paste the link on viewhtmlonline.com. This works in Chrome, Samsung Internet, Firefox and every other browser, and adds:

  • line numbers you can link to, and search inside the code
  • a Tidy up button for minified pages
  • a report with the title, description, headings and share preview
  • a check of which search and AI bots may read the page

3. Remote debugging with a computer

For live debugging, turn on Developer options and USB debugging on the phone, connect it to a computer, and open chrome://inspect in Chrome on the computer.
