Character Encoding Checker

Reports the charset the page declares.

What this tool checks

  • Character encoding declared

    Checks for a <meta charset> declaration early in the document head.

    Why it matters: A missing or late charset declaration can cause the browser to re-parse the page or render text incorrectly.

    If it fails: Add <meta charset="utf-8"> as the first element in <head>.
