SEO Basic Tools
Technical SEO problems are often invisible until they've already cost you rankings — a misconfigured robots.txt file, a stray noindex tag, or a broken redirect can quietly keep pages out of Google's index for months. This page collects the diagnostic tools to catch those issues early.
What you can do here
- Verify crawlability
- with Robots.txt Checker and Sitemap Checker — confirm search engines can actually find and crawl your pages.
- Audit on-page SEO
- with Meta Tags Analyzer, checking your title tags, meta descriptions, and heading structure.
- Clean up URLs for SEO
- with Text to Slug when publishing new pages.
- Prevent duplicate content issues
- with Canonical Tag Checker and catch accidental de-indexing with Noindex Tag Checker.
- Check technical health
- with URL Redirect Checker and HTTP Status Checker to confirm your redirects and server responses are correct.
Run a quick audit with these tools before and after any major site change — a redesign, a migration, or a bulk content update — to catch technical issues before they affect your rankings.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How often should I check my robots.txt and sitemap?
Check both after any site change that affects URL structure, and periodically (monthly is reasonable) to catch accidental blocks or errors.
2. What does a noindex tag do, and why would it hurt my SEO?
A noindex tag tells search engines not to include a page in search results. It's useful intentionally (for thank-you pages, admin pages), but if it's accidentally left on a page you want ranked, that page will never appear in search results no matter how good the content is.
