Key features
HeadingsMap
- Heading outline
- Lists every heading with its level and, optionally, marks where a level is skipped or out of order.
- Sections and landmarks
- Also lists HTML sections and page landmarks, with optional notes on structural errors in each.
- Click to jump
- Clicking an item scrolls the page to that heading and outlines it, so long pages can be checked or read quickly.
- Frames and live pages
- Reads documents inside frames through a document selector, and refreshes the outline when the page changes.
- Copyable anchor links
- When a heading has an anchor, the outline links to it, and an optional link copies that address to the clipboard.
- Hidden headings left out
- Headings hidden from assistive technologies are not shown, so the outline matches what screen readers announce.
MeasureSEO
- Keyword counts and density
- Lists every keyword on the page with how many times it appears and its percentage of the total word count, shown above the table.
- Phrase length and minimum count
- Switch the table between single words and longer phrases, and hide terms that appear fewer times than a set minimum.
- Stop words in 25+ languages
- Stop words are removed by default using lists in more than 25 languages, and you can add your own stop words or excluded words.
- CSV export
- Export the keyword table to CSV for reporting or further analysis.
- Runs in the browser
- The analysis happens in your browser without uploading page text, and the developer discloses that it collects no data.
- Web tools
- The MeasureSEO site has a keyword density checker for pasted drafts, plus robots.txt, meta tag, sitemap and UTM generators.

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
