This helps you understand what content is actually visible to search engines, detect SEO issues, and ensure your most important text and links are accessible for crawling and indexing.

  1. 🌐 Enter the URL of the page you want to analyze.
  2. 🕷️ Click Run Spider Simulator to fetch the page.
  3. 📄 Review the extracted text, links, headings, and meta elements.
  4. 🔁 Make fixes if needed and re-run the test to confirm improvements.
