Most website developers will probably agree that developing a website is only one part of actually managing one. Once you’ve created your site, from the design to the links, it’s now time to start working on getting your website seen by the market. In order to make sure that your website is visible to the masses, you need to make sure that your website is performing SEO best practices. Checkbot is a Google Chrome extension that lets users check if a website follows SEO best practices by looking for duplicate titles, long URLS, descriptions, content, and more. 

Installation and Interface

Installing Checkbot is not a very complicated process. With just a few clicks, Checkbot will be up and running on your browser. Checkbot only runs on most operating systems as long as users have a Google Chrome browser.

Checkbot’s design and interface is also amazing thanks to its simplicity. All of the elements that the user would need to have checked can be seen in a panel at the left side of the screen. Checkbot has a red, blue, and black color scheme that’s very pleasing to the eye.

SEO, Speed, and Security Boost

Checkbot’s main function is to help users improve SEO, speed, and security. The extension has several features that allow users to do this. In order to improve SEO, Checkbot crawls the website to look for long URLs, duplicate titles, broken links, unoriginal descriptions, and sparse content pages among others. Doing this will alert users to these problems that might hurt their SEO rankings.

To improve page speed, on the other hand, Checkbot has a speed guide that details important tips for building websites that are optimized for faster data connection. Using Checkbot, users will be able to check their website’s CSS, JavaScript, redirects, and more.

Finally, users will be able to check their website’s security with Checkbot by checking a page’s HTTPS, insecure pages, and mixed content among others.

Sharing and Export

Developers who are working with an entire team need not worry because Checkbot allows users to export a list of URLs in CSV format. This will allow them to share information and data quickly among their team members.

Checkbot is an easy to use but powerful tool that any website developer needs in their arsenal. Once you’ve started creating a large web base, keeping track of all the errors you’ve committed will be difficult to keep track of. Checkbot allows users to eliminate those errors by highlighting where they are and guiding users to better SEO practices. It’s an extension that’s definitely worth a recommendation.
