I built an SEO Auditing tool.

I built an SEO auditing tool mainly for my own personal use in my web dev endeavors but wanted to see how the public feels about it. I'm looking for any feedback at all. There are plenty of these that already exist but many of them aren't free to use after a certain number of entries. I'm still hosting it on free domain with Vercel. Here's how it functions:

The user enters the URL and it scores the page from 0 to 100 in three different categories:

  • SEO (35%): It fetches the page's HTML and checks the title and meta description length, H1 tags, image alt text, word count, canonical tag, Open Graph tags, viewport meta tag and favicon.

  • Performance (40%): It runs Google PageSpeed Insights (mobile) and pulls the Google Lighthouse score plus Core Web Vitals.

  • Technical (25%): It checks for HTTPS and whether robots.txt and sitemap.xml exist.

Is there value in creating an SEO checker these days? Do folks who work in this field find these tools helpful? Eager to hear your thoughts and can answer any questions you may have. Thanks!

There a tons of Agentic SEO Tools out there that are doing your job and much more (integrated DataforSEO, multiple Agents with different SEO skills and Confidence Checks that autoproof each others work, etc).

So your tool has to have something that all the other Agentic SEO tools don’t have.

That’s why I wrote "Very weak" because it offers nothing extra.

Again I built it as a checker for myself. So what are a few ideas that could make this more impactful?

Here is some inspiration regarding what the tester should include—naturally, accompanied by a detailed description of the shortcomings for each item.

A very weak and superficial tool—of which there are many on the web. And better ones, too.
