However, if you want to get only headers, it might be better to use `HEAD` request method. Usage of this method will obviate the need for consumption or cancelling of the response body. See [MDN - HTTP - HTTP request methods - HEAD](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Methods/HEAD) for more details.

```js
const headers = await fetch(url, { method: 'HEAD' })
.then(res => res.headers)
```
