Free SEO Tools

A focused set of free SEO tools that each check one search signal at a time. Preview how a page looks in Google, validate canonicals and hreflang, trace redirects, generate structured data and check your sitemap, with no sign-up and nothing stored.

Search appearanceFeatured

Meta Preview

See how your page title and meta description could appear in Google before you publish. Answer questions like “what is the website title” versus the SEO title, check length, and write friendly, click-worthy snippets.

  • Preview the search appearance of your title and description
  • Spot truncation before it costs you clicks
  • No meta keywords myths, just the signals that matter
Open Meta Preview
CanonicalizationFeatured

Canonical Checker

Compare the requested URL, any redirects and the declared canonical, so every page points search engines at a single, consistent address instead of splitting signals across duplicates.

  • Trace requested, redirected and declared canonical URLs
  • Catch conflicting or missing canonical tags
  • Confirm clean, self-referencing canonicals
Open Canonical Checker
International SEOFeatured

Hreflang Generator

Prepare reciprocal hreflang annotations for language and regional pages, so the right version shows in the right market without triggering duplicate-content confusion in international SEO.

  • Generate reciprocal en-us, en-gb and x-default tags
  • Avoid the common return-tag and region-code errors
  • Copy clean markup straight into your <head>

Response handlingFeatured

Redirect Checker

Trace status codes, redirect hops and the final destination, so migrations and changing domain names keep their SEO value instead of leaking it through chains and loops.

  • Follow every hop through to the final URL
  • Spot redirect chains, loops and soft 404s
  • Confirm 301 versus 302 behavior at a glance
Open Redirect Checker
Structured data

Schema Generator

Build a valid starting point for supported structured data in JSON-LD, so eligible pages can qualify for richer search results without hand-writing markup from scratch.

  • Generate JSON-LD for common structured data types
  • Start from valid, spec-aligned markup
  • Paste the output straight into your template
Open Schema Generator
Discovery

Sitemap Checker

Review URL format, response status and sitemap consistency, so search engines can discover and crawl the pages you actually want indexed and skip the ones you do not.

  • Check URL format and response status
  • Spot non-200 URLs sitting in your sitemap
  • Keep discovery clean and consistent

How to use these free SEO tools

Most on-page and technical SEO problems come down to a single signal being wrong: a title that gets truncated, a canonical that points at the wrong URL, a redirect chain that leaks link equity, or a sitemap listing pages that no longer return a 200. Rather than one bloated dashboard, these free SEO tools each do one job well, so you can check the exact signal you care about and move on. Every tool runs in your browser, needs no account, and stores nothing you enter.

A typical on-page pass starts with the Meta Preview to see how your title tag and meta description read in a Google result and whether they fit before truncation. From there the Schema Generator helps you build valid JSON-LD structured data so eligible pages can qualify for richer results. Together they cover the two on-page signals that shape how your page appears in search.

For technical SEO, the Canonical Checker compares the requested URL, any redirects and the declared canonical so you do not split ranking signals across duplicates. The Redirect Checker traces every hop to the final destination, which is essential before and after a migration or when you change a domain name. The Hreflang Generator prepares reciprocal annotations for international SEO, and the Sitemap Checker confirms the URLs you want indexed actually resolve cleanly.

Why one-signal SEO tools beat bloated dashboards

Big all-in-one platforms are powerful, but for a specific check they add friction: logins, credits, and reports you have to interpret. When you just need to know whether a canonical is self-referencing or a redirect resolves in one hop, a focused free tool answers the question in seconds. These utilities grew out of the checks we run in our own technical SEO work, so each reflects a real diagnostic rather than a generic feature list.

They also respect your privacy. Because these SEO tools run client-side, the URLs and markup you paste in are not uploaded or logged, which matters when you are auditing an unreleased page or a client site. Bookmark the ones you use most, or start from the individual tool pages when you search for a specific task like a meta description preview or a redirect trace.

Looking for image and performance tools?

Page speed is part of SEO too, and images are usually the heaviest thing on a page. If you need to compress images, convert to WebP, resize or crop for the web, or read a photo's EXIF data, see our free image tools. They pair well with these SEO tools to keep both your on-page signals and your Core Web Vitals in good shape.
