#  Sec-Fetch-Mode

The **` Sec-Fetch-Mode ` ** [ fetch metadata request header ](/en-
US/docs/Glossary/Fetch_metadata_request_header) indicates the [ mode ](/en-
US/docs/Web/API/Request/mode) of the request.

Broadly speaking, this allows a server to distinguish between: requests
originating from a user navigating between HTML pages, and requests to load
images and other resources. For example, this header would contain ` navigate
` for top level navigation requests, while ` no-cors ` is used for loading an
image.

Header type  |  [ Fetch Metadata Request Header ](/en-US/docs/Glossary/Fetch_metadata_request_header)  
---|---  
[ Forbidden header name ](/en-US/docs/Glossary/Forbidden_header_name) |  yes (prefix ` Sec- ` )   
[ CORS-safelisted request header ](/en-US/docs/Glossary/CORS-safelisted_request_header) |  no
