META SEO inspector lays out what a browser hides, titles and descriptions with their lengths, canonicals, robots, headings, alt text, social tags and JSON-LD, for free, and can stay docked in Chrome's side panel. It's a one-person project for Chrome only, with no search numbers, and the store says EU consumer rights don't apply because the developer hasn't identified itself as a trader. - **Value for money: A.** Free with no account, logins or fees; the developer takes optional donations through PayPal or Buy Me a Coffee. - **Free plan and trial: A.** Every feature is free and there's no paid version, so nothing is held back. - **Features: C.** Titles and descriptions with length checks, canonicals, meta robots, H1 to H6, alt text, Open Graph and Twitter tags, JSON-LD and a new broken link checker. The basics, with no search volumes, rankings or backlink data. - **Ease of use: B.** No rating on record, but no account and nothing to set up: click the icon, or dock it in the side panel, and the page's metadata is listed. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Made for Chrome, so computers only, with no Firefox, Safari or Edge version named. No integrations, though it links out to site testers. These are ToolGPA's own grades.
