About this tool
Review image exports before deployment so cross-origin image requests use explicit, predictable referrer policies and avoid leakage patterns that can create privacy and governance risk.
Image Referrer Policy Checker is useful when image requests need the right privacy and request-context behavior across analytics, embeds, or third-party services. It helps teams review whether the chosen referrer policy matches how much page context should travel with image requests.
- Parses rows in URL|image-url|referrerpolicy|status|context|bytes format and normalizes relative paths with an optional base URL.
- Flags missing/invalid referrerpolicy values, unsafe-url usage, and legacy no-referrer-when-downgrade defaults.
- Surfaces critical-image weak-policy byte overflow pages to prioritize fixes with the highest delivery impact first.
How to use Image Referrer-Policy
Inspect the image markup or policy value, review the expected request behavior, and compare it with the privacy or compatibility goal of the integration. If the image is served by a third party, verify the policy against both privacy expectations and any vendor requirements before changing it broadly.
