    HEAD request...much faster than using common functions (file_get_contents, etc) since it does not download the body. If you are doing multiple requests...possibly curl_multi_init()...then it'll give you about a 95% increase in performance.

    Why do you need headers of the big sites?
    Just learning new things, that is why asking.
