The Detailed SEO Extension is the Chrome extension I click most during a day. One click shows title, meta description, canonical, robots, headings, hreflang and schema for whatever page I am on.
How I use it:
– Check competitors in the SERP one by one to see heading structure and word count patterns before writing a brief.
– Spot canonical and robots issues instantly. Found a noindex on a client’s category page this way while just browsing.
– The headings tab gives a clean outline you can copy out.
– The links tab shows internal versus external counts, handy for a quick look at a page’s link profile.
Downside: it only looks at one page at a time and reads what your browser loads, so it will not tell you what Googlebot sees on JavaScript-heavy sites. For that you still need the URL Inspection tool.
