Scope

What it is, and what it isn't.

Every tool on ToolsVale is scoped to one job. Here is exactly what this one does, and what it does not — so you know whether it fits before you start.

What it is

  • A pre-publish and post-publish audit for SEO + AEO Check any page for on-page SEO issues, AI crawler access, citation-readiness, Core Web Vitals, and accessibility — before or after it goes live.
  • A framework-aware fix engine Every issue comes with instructions tailored to your CMS: which Yoast tab, which Shopify Liquid template, which Webflow panel.
  • An AI answer-engine visibility test See exactly what GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot render for your page. Any page invisible to them can't be cited in AI answers.

What it isn't

  • Not a full-site crawler For 500+ page crawls, use our Broken Link Checker or a paid tool like Screaming Frog.
  • Not a backlink analyzer We audit your outbound and internal links, not who links to you.
  • Not a rank tracker We audit page health and citation-readiness, not your current Google position.

How to use it

SEO Audit Checker
in three moves.

01

Paste your URL

Enter any public page URL. Works with WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Webflow, Squarespace, Next.js — the audit auto-detects your CMS and gives platform-specific fixes.

02

Choose what to include

PageSpeed adds 15-30 seconds but returns real Core Web Vitals from Google's servers. AI Citation scoring uses an LLM to grade how well your content can be extracted and cited by ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity.

03

Get your report + PDF

See your overall grade, 5 category scores, a radar chart, and a prioritized list of exact fixes. Download the PDF, share the report with a 48-hour link, or run another audit.

Why this one

Built against the ways these tools disappoint.

We ran the same files through the popular alternatives first. These are the gaps we found, and what this tool does instead.

01

Most free SEO tools only check title tags and meta descriptions. Zero check whether AI answer engines like ChatGPT and Claude can even see your page.

We fetch your page as 5 different crawlers in parallel — Googlebot, GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, plus a real Chrome — and flag any content that AI bots can't see.

02

Generic "add a meta description" advice that doesn't tell you where in your CMS to actually make the change.

Every fix includes a specific instruction for your platform. WordPress + Yoast? We tell you which tab. Shopify? Which template. Webflow? Which panel.

03

Shows you problems, hides fixes behind a signup wall or paid tier.

Everything is free forever. No signup. Full report, PDF download, and 48-hour shareable link — all included.

Key Factors

What makes this audit different

5-crawler parallel fetch

We fetch your page simultaneously as Googlebot, GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, and a real Chrome browser. If your CDN or firewall serves different content to any of them, we flag it as potential cloaking — the #1 reason pages disappear from AI answer engines.

AI Citation scoring

We send your page's structure to an LLM and get graded on 5 axes: answer-first paragraphs, extractability, quotability, entity clarity, and structural quality. This is how well ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity can actually cite you.

Framework-aware fixes

We detect WordPress + Yoast, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Next.js, and more — then tailor every fix to your exact CMS. No generic "add meta description" advice.

Real Core Web Vitals from Google

We pull both lab data (Lighthouse synthetic) and field data (real 28-day user experience from Chrome UX Report) directly from Google's PageSpeed Insights API. The same numbers Google uses for ranking.

Full transparency ledger

Every audit shows which engines ran, which didn't, and why. If PageSpeed timed out, you see it. If our LLM fell back to a smaller model, you see it. No hidden failures.

The detail

How this actually works.

Audit any page for SEO and AEO in under 40 seconds. ToolsVale’s free SEO Audit Checker runs 200+ checks across on-page SEO, AI crawler access, citation readiness, Core Web Vitals, and accessibility — then hands you a prioritized fix list with instructions specific to your CMS. No signup, no credit card, no watermarked PDF.

What this tool actually does

Most “free SEO audit” tools show you the same 12 checks — title length, meta description, H1 count — then hide the real fixes behind a signup wall. This one doesn’t. Here’s what runs on every audit:

  • 200+ deterministic rule checks across 14 categories, from meta tags to security headers to hreflang.
  • 5-crawler parallel fetch — Googlebot, GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, and real Chrome — with cloaking detection built in.
  • AI Citation scoring using an LLM to grade how well your content can be extracted, quoted, and cited by ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity.
  • Real Core Web Vitals pulled from Google’s PageSpeed Insights API — lab data plus 28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report.
  • Framework-aware fix instructions — we detect your CMS and tell you which Yoast tab, which Shopify template, or which Webflow panel to open.

Why AEO matters in 2026

AEO (Answer Engine Optimization), also called GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), is the practice of making your content discoverable and citable by AI answer engines. Over 2025-2026, ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google’s AI Overviews started collectively taking a measurable slice of search traffic that used to hit blue links.

Traditional SEO gets you into Google’s index. AEO gets you into the actual answers LLMs produce. They’re related, but different — and most “SEO audit” tools completely ignore the AEO half.

Our tool audits both. In one pass, you find out:

  • Is your page accessible to GPTBot (OpenAI), ClaudeBot (Anthropic), PerplexityBot, and Google-Extended?
  • Is your robots.txt accidentally blocking any AI crawler?
  • Does your content have the structural properties — FAQ sections, H2 questions, TL;DR blocks, extractable lists — that LLMs prefer for citations?
  • Would an actual language model rate your page as answer-first, quotable, and entity-clear?

Everything this audit checks

On-Page SEO

Title tag length and quality, meta description, canonical URL, robots meta directives, viewport tag, H1 presence, heading hierarchy, language attribute, indexability signals (noindex/nofollow), Open Graph tags for social sharing, Twitter cards, image alt attributes, image dimensions, internal link structure, anchor text quality, hreflang for multi-language sites, structured data presence (JSON-LD), and 20+ more rules.

AI Crawler Access (AEO)

We check your /robots.txt for eight specific AI crawlers: GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, OAI-SearchBot, CCBot, Amazonbot, and Applebot-Extended. Any bot blocked here means your content cannot be cited in that AI’s answers. Missing sitemap? Blocked by mistake? Robots-block only for one specific bot? We flag it with the exact fix and rewrite the robots.txt block you need to remove.

AI Citation Readiness

This is where we go beyond every other free tool. We combine two sub-scores:

  • Structural score (deterministic) — FAQ presence, question-shaped H2s, TL;DR blocks, list density, table density. These are the DOM patterns LLMs latch onto when picking what to quote.
  • Semantic score (AI-assisted) — we send a deterministic sample of your content to a language model and get graded on five axes: answer-first paragraphs, extractability, quotability, entity clarity, and structure quality.

The blended score tells you exactly how citable your page is in AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.

Performance (Core Web Vitals)

We call Google’s PageSpeed Insights API for both mobile and desktop, pulling:

  • LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) — lab and field data
  • INP (Interaction to Next Paint) — the current Core Web Vital that replaced FID
  • CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift)
  • FCP, TBT, TTFB, image optimization opportunities, render-blocking JavaScript, DOM size, and total page weight

You get the same numbers Google uses for ranking, plus 28-day real-user experience data from the Chrome UX Report (CrUX) when your site has enough traffic to qualify.

Accessibility

Language attribute presence, image alt text coverage, viewport configuration, and ARIA hygiene basics. This category grows with every release.

Security and Best Practices

HTTPS enforcement, HSTS header, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, and other security headers that both users and Google care about.

How to run an audit

  1. Paste any public URL into the tool above. Works with any website — WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Webflow, Squarespace, Ghost, or any modern JavaScript framework.
  2. Choose what to include. Leave PageSpeed on for real Core Web Vitals (adds 15-30 seconds — Google’s timing, not ours). Leave AI Citation scoring on for the full LLM analysis.
  3. Click Run Audit. Watch progress in real time as each engine reports back — no black-box wait.
  4. Read your report. You get an overall grade (A-F), five category scores with donut charts, a radar chart, a prioritized recommendations table, and per-category deep-dives with exact fixes.
  5. Download the PDF or generate a 48-hour shareable link. Both free, no signup.

Framework-aware fixes for every major CMS

Generic “add a meta description” advice is useless. We auto-detect your platform and tell you exactly where to click. Every fix includes CMS-specific instructions for:

WordPress + Yoast SEO / Rank Math / AIOSEO

Meta title and description edits routed to the correct plugin tab. Schema fixes tied to Yoast’s Schema tab or Rank Math’s Schema Generator. Canonical URL issues traced to your SEO plugin settings. Cache-related issues flagged when we detect WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, LiteSpeed, or SG Optimizer.

Shopify

Title and meta fixes routed to the product or collection admin. theme.liquid injections for missing tags. Image alt guidance for the media library workflow. Structured data recommendations aware of Shopify’s default schema output.

Wix, Squarespace, Webflow

Panel-specific instructions — we tell you which SEO panel, which page setting, which meta section to open. No generic “edit your HTML” advice for platforms where users can’t touch HTML.

Next.js, Nuxt, Astro, SvelteKit, and other JS frameworks

Fixes routed to the correct component or metadata pattern — generateMetadata() for Next.js App Router, useHead() for Nuxt, <svelte:head> for SvelteKit, and so on. We detect the framework from response headers and script signatures.

What makes this different from SEOmator, SEOptimer, Ahrefs Webmaster Tools

Three concrete differences:

  1. Cloaking detection built into every audit. Every other free tool fetches your page once. We fetch it five times as five different crawlers in parallel and diff the results. If your CDN or firewall serves ClaudeBot a 403 while showing Googlebot a 200, we flag it. This is the #1 reason otherwise-optimized pages fail to appear in AI answers.
  2. LLM-graded citation scoring. Not keyword density. Not regex heuristics. An actual language model reads a deterministic sample of your content and grades it on five axes. This is what your page’s citation potential actually looks like to an answer engine.
  3. Everything free, forever. No signup wall. No paid PDF. No verified-owner requirement. The full report, PDF download, and 48-hour shareable link are all free with no account.

Common issues this audit catches

  • ClaudeBot or GPTBot blocked in robots.txt — usually accidental, often copied from a bad template found online
  • Title truncated in Google SERPs — anything over ~60 characters gets cut on desktop, less on mobile
  • Missing og:image — every social share and Slack unfurl looks broken, cutting click-through
  • Canonical URL missing or wrong — ranking signals split across duplicate URLs, or Google picks the wrong URL as canonical
  • No FAQ section on a page that should have one — one of the single highest-ROI AEO fixes available
  • Slow LCP on mobile — Core Web Vitals failure hurts rankings directly and shows up in Search Console
  • Images without alt text — accessibility failure plus lost Google Images traffic
  • Structured data missing or invalid — no rich results in SERPs, no schema-based AI citations
  • User-agent cloaking — different content served to different bots, either intentional (bad) or accidental via CDN rules
  • Cookie consent walls blocking crawlers — page appears empty or blocked to bots that don’t accept cookies
  • Missing hreflang on multi-language sites — wrong language served to search users
  • Render-blocking JavaScript — delays first paint, hurts LCP

Other free SEO tools from ToolsVale

FAQ

The questions people actually type in.

What's the difference between SEO and AEO?

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) targets Google, Bing, and classic search engines. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) — sometimes called GEO for Generative Engine Optimization — targets AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews. Both matter now. This tool audits both in one pass.

Do I need to sign up?

No. No signup, no email, no credit card. The full report is free. You can also download the PDF or generate a 48-hour shareable link without any account.

How is this different from SEOmator, SEOptimer, or Ahrefs?

Three things: (1) We fetch your page as 5 different AI crawlers in parallel — most competitors only check 1. (2) We use an actual LLM to grade AI citation readiness — not just keyword density heuristics. (3) All fixes are framework-specific — we tell you exactly which Yoast tab, which Shopify template, which Webflow panel.

Why does the audit take 20-40 seconds?

Real Core Web Vitals from Google's PageSpeed Insights API take 15-30 seconds on Google's end — we can't speed that up. The rest of our checks run in parallel and finish in 3-5 seconds. If you skip PageSpeed, the audit finishes in 5-10 seconds.

What CMSs does it support?

All of them. We auto-detect WordPress (with Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO, Elementor), Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Ghost, Drupal, Joomla, and modern JS frameworks (Next.js, Nuxt, Astro, SvelteKit). Fix instructions are tailored to whatever you're using.

Can I audit competitor pages?

Yes. Use the "Compare 2 URLs" tab to run your page and a competitor's page side-by-side. You'll get both reports rendered together for direct comparison.

What data do you store?

Nothing by default. If you generate a share link, the report is stored for 48 hours then auto-deleted. All PII (emails, phone numbers, API keys, credit card numbers) is redacted before storage. Zero tracking, no analytics from the tool itself.

Does it work for pages behind a login?

No. We can only audit publicly accessible URLs. For staging or dev environments, use the "Paste HTML" tab — copy your page source (Ctrl+U in Chrome) and paste it directly.
