Which timestamp formats are supported?

Use the presets in-tool for common providers; others may need manual epoch conversion.

What tolerance should I use?

Start with provider guidance—often a few minutes—and tighten only if traffic allows.

Timestamp Validator

In the same workflow: Security Headers Analyzer and CORS Checker.

Timestamp Validator

Check if a webhook timestamp is within a tolerance window. Reject old or future timestamps to prevent replay.

Why use Timestamp Validator?

Replay attacks rely on stale timestamps. Compare webhook timestamps against a tolerance window to see whether a request is fresh enough for your risk model—especially for Stripe-style seconds-since-epoch headers.

Practical tips

Align server clocks with NTP; skew is the most common false positive.
Log both header time and receive time when disputing provider retries.
Pair with Signature Validator so timestamp checks happen on authenticated payloads.
