Tool Directory

Internet diagnostics and utility tools built for clarity.

Every tool focuses on observable behaviour such as DNS responses, certificate state, transport timing, headers, and encoding formats.

Common Use Cases

DNS and TLS Validation

Verify domain resolution, certificate status, and transport policy configuration before launch.

Technical SEO Audits

Audit canonical tags, metadata, sitemap coverage, and response behaviours that affect crawling.

Incident Triage

Investigate latency, header drift, route issues, and endpoint behaviour with direct protocol outputs.

Recurring Monitoring

Integrate APIs into CI and scheduled workflows for continuous infrastructure and SEO verification.

Infrastructure & DNS

Inspect DNS records, certificate state, propagation behaviour, and core network signals.

DNS Lookup

Perform live DNS queries to retrieve authoritative A, AAAA, MX, TXT, SPF, DKIM, DMARC and related records.

WHOIS Lookup

Check domain registration details including registrar, registration dates, expiry, and authoritative name servers using WHOIS and RDAP data.

IP Geolocation

Identify the network owner, ASN, and approximate geographic region associated with an IP address or domain.

SSL Certificate Checker

Inspect SSL/TLS certificates to verify validity, expiry, issuer, and supported security protocols.

HSTS Status Checker

Check whether a domain enforces HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) and how browsers will treat HTTPS enforcement.

Ping Test

Test network latency and packet loss to a remote host using ICMP echo requests.

Traceroute

Trace the network path packets take to reach a destination and identify latency at each hop.

TTFB Checker

Measure Time To First Byte (TTFB) to assess backend responsiveness and server performance.

Broken Link Checker

Scan a website for broken internal and external links that may impact usability and SEO.

Canonical URL Checker

Inspect canonical tags to verify correct URL consolidation and prevent duplicate content issues.

Open Graph Checker

Preview and validate Open Graph metadata used by social platforms when sharing links.

SERP Preview

Preview how a page title and meta description may appear in search engine results.

Meta Length Checker

Check title and meta description lengths against common search engine display limits.

HTML Size Checker

Measure total HTML document size to identify performance or rendering issues.

Favicon Checker

Detect and validate favicons used by a website across browsers and platforms.

CDN Detector

Detect whether a website is using a Content Delivery Network (CDN) and identify the provider.

HTTP Headers Checker

Inspect response headers, status codes, and redirect hops for any URL.

Robots.txt Tester

Test robots.txt rules for a URL path and user-agent to see whether crawling is allowed or blocked.

Redirect Chain Checker

Trace redirect hops, detect loops, and identify mixed protocol redirects.

Security Headers Checker

Audit critical security response headers including CSP, HSTS, and clickjacking protection.

Status Code Checker

Check HTTP status code, final URL, and redirect behavior for any page URL.

X-Robots-Tag Checker

Inspect X-Robots-Tag response headers and detect crawl/index directives like noindex and nofollow.

Sitemap Extractor

Extract and inspect URLs from XML sitemaps, including sitemap index files.

User Agent Parser

Inspect and parse user agent strings to identify browsers, operating systems, and devices.

Encoding & Utilities

Use lightweight helpers for formats, conversion, validation, and low-level web data handling.
