Checkbot vs Website SEO Checker (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Checkbot if

• Fits if you check a site of under 100 URLs for broken links and bad markup before launch
• Works for developers testing a staging or localhost site, on the paid plan

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if your site runs past 100 URLs, as the free plan stops there and shows ads
• Watch out: it doesn't run JavaScript, so content added by scripts isn't checked
• Watch out: CSV and PDF exports, localhost and password-protected crawls all need Professional
• Pricey if you pay month to month, at $15 against $10 billed yearly, and a plan covers one person
• Not for you if you're not on Chrome, as the FAQ says there's no other browser version

Pick Website SEO Checker if

• Fits if you check a page's tags, indexing rules and hreflang without opening its source
• Works for Sitechecker users who want a page's Search Console clicks and queries beside it

Look elsewhere if

• Too light for whole-site audits, as it checks one page and site crawls are a separate Sitechecker product
• Tight if you won't make a Sitechecker account, since Search Console figures and monitoring need one
• Not for you if you browse in Firefox, Safari or Edge, as it's listed for Chrome only
• Watch out: the developer hasn't identified itself as a trader, so EU consumer rights don't apply

Checkbot

• It runs only in Google Chrome; the FAQ says there is no Firefox or other browser version.
• The free plan stops at 100 URLs per crawl and shows ads; localhost crawls and exports need Professional.
• It does not execute JavaScript while crawling, so content added by scripts is not tested.
• A subscription covers one person; new customers can get a full refund within 14 days.

Website SEO Checker

• It checks one page at a time; whole-site crawls are a separate product on the Sitechecker platform.
• Search Console insights and issue monitoring work only when logged in to a Sitechecker account.
• It is listed for Chrome only.
• The Chrome Web Store notes the developer has not identified itself as a trader, so EU consumer rights do not apply.

Checkbot

Site-wide crawl

Crawls hundreds of pages at once from a start URL and scores them against 50+ rules drawn from Google, Mozilla and W3C guidance.

SEO checks

Finds broken links, missing or long titles and descriptions, duplicate content, canonical problems, missing image alt text, temporary redirects and sitemap issues.

Speed and security checks

Flags redirect chains, unminified or render-blocking CSS and JavaScript and missing caching or compression, plus HTTPS, mixed content and security header gaps.

Staging and localhost sites

Crawling runs on your own machine, so the paid plan can test localhost, private-network and HTTP Auth password-protected sites.

Crawl filters and quick rechecks

Limit a crawl by subdomain, folder, depth, pattern or file type, and recrawl a single page to confirm a fix.

PDF reports and CSV export

The Professional plan exports problem lists to CSV in bulk and produces PDF summary reports for clients or teammates.

Website SEO Checker

Links and images

Sorts links into internal, external and subdomain with dofollow or nofollow status, anchor text and HTTP codes, and flags images missing alt text or broken.

Hreflang and structured data

Page speed
