Is the online check free?
Yes, with no account. Each network can run ten checks every ten minutes, which keeps the checker fast for everyone.
Why can the result differ from the Chrome extension?
The online check reads the HTML your server sends, before any JavaScript runs, which is how most AI crawlers read a page. The extension reads the page after it has rendered in your browser. On sites that build their content with JavaScript, headings, text and structured data can differ between the two.
What happens to the address I check?
Our server fetches that page and the site's robots.txt, sitemap.xml and llms.txt, builds the report, and keeps it in memory for ten minutes so a repeat check is instant. Nothing is saved to a database. Server logs keep the site's hostname and a one-way hash of your IP address, not the full address.
Why did the site refuse the checker?
Some firewalls turn away automated requests. The checker says who it is instead of pretending to be a browser, so those sites answer with an error. Run the Chrome extension on the page instead: it checks from your own browser.
Which pages can't be checked?
Addresses on private networks such as localhost, pages behind a login, and files that are not web pages, such as PDFs. The check reads one page per request and does not crawl the rest of the site.
