For SEO Specialists

SEO Audit Workflow Without External Tools

onHover gives SEO specialists and content teams four tools that cover on-page signals, Core Web Vitals, competitor tech analysis, and page data export — all from one Chrome extension popup, on any page, including authenticated and staging URLs that external tools cannot reach.

4 tools for SEO audit work

SEO Analyzer

Complete on-page audit without opening a new tab

onHover's SEO Analyzer surfaces every SEO signal on the current page in one panel: title tag and its length, meta description, canonical URL, robots directives (index/follow/noindex), Open Graph tags, Twitter Card tags, heading hierarchy (H1 through H6), internal and external links, and structured data (JSON-LD and microdata). Click once and everything is there — no page source, no third-party crawl, no waiting.

Signals covered

Title tag (length, presence)
Meta description (length, presence)
Canonical URL
Robots meta (index/noindex, follow/nofollow)
Open Graph tags (og:title, og:description, og:image, og:type)
Twitter Card tags
Heading hierarchy — H1 through H6
Internal and external link count
Structured data — JSON-LD and microdata

Page Insights

Core Web Vitals directly relevant to rankings

Google uses LCP, CLS, and INP as ranking signals via the Page Experience update. onHover's Page Insights captures all five Core Web Vitals — LCP (Largest Contentful Paint), FCP (First Contentful Paint), CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift), INP (Interaction to Next Paint), and TTFB (Time to First Byte) — as a live snapshot from the browser's Performance API. No tab submission, no 30-second wait, no authentication walls. Works on localhost, staging, and any URL behind a login.

Signals covered

LCP — Largest Contentful Paint (ranking signal)
CLS — Cumulative Layout Shift (ranking signal)
INP — Interaction to Next Paint (ranking signal)
FCP — First Contentful Paint
TTFB — Time to First Byte
Load timing breakdown
Resource size by type
DOM node count
JS heap memory

Tech Stack Detector

Understand competitors' CMS, analytics, and CDN setup

Knowing a competitor's tech stack informs SEO strategy: their CMS affects crawlability and rendering mode (server-side vs. client-side), their CDN affects TTFB globally, and their analytics tools reveal how they measure performance. onHover's Tech Stack Detector identifies CMS (WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, etc.), frontend framework (React, Next.js, Nuxt, etc.), analytics tools (Google Analytics, Hotjar, Segment, etc.), CDN provider, hosting environment, SSL certificate details, and DNS records — all from the current browser tab.

Signals covered

CMS — WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Wix, Ghost, etc.
Frontend framework — React, Vue, Next.js, Nuxt, Angular, etc.
Analytics — Google Analytics, GTM, Hotjar, Segment, Plausible, etc.
CDN — Cloudflare, Fastly, Akamai, AWS CloudFront, etc.
Hosting — Vercel, Netlify, WP Engine, etc.
SSL certificate details
DNS records

Extract & Export

Pull page data for analysis or LLM context

onHover's Extract & Export tool converts the current page into structured data you can work with. Export the full page as Markdown (clean text, no HTML tags) for analysis in a spreadsheet or as context for an LLM prompt. Extract all email addresses grouped by domain, export tables as CSV, or save the full HTML, PDF, or Word document. Useful for content audits, competitive analysis, or feeding page content into AI-assisted SEO workflows.

Signals covered

Export page as Markdown — clean text for LLM context
Extract all email addresses, grouped by domain
Export tables as CSV
Save full page as HTML, PDF, or Word
Bulk export across multiple pages

The SEO audit workflow

A repeatable process for a complete on-page audit on any URL — including pages behind authentication, staging environments, and localhost.

1

Open the target page

Navigate to the page you're auditing in Chrome.

2

SEO Analyzer

Check title, description, canonical, robots, OG tags, headings, and structured data in one panel.

3

Page Insights

Capture Core Web Vitals — LCP, CLS, INP, FCP, TTFB — and note which signals are outside the "Good" threshold.

4

Tech Stack Detector

Identify the CMS, rendering mode, analytics setup, and CDN — relevant context for diagnosing crawl or performance issues.

5

Extract & Export

Export the page as Markdown for content analysis or as input to an LLM-assisted audit prompt.

6

Repeat on competitor pages

Run the same workflow on competitor URLs for a side-by-side comparison without additional tooling.

Works where external tools cannot

Tools like PageSpeed Insights and SEOquake send your URL to an external server for analysis. That means they cannot audit pages that require authentication (dashboards, gated content, preview links), pages on localhost or staging servers, or pages behind a VPN.

Because onHover runs directly in your browser tab, it audits any page you can open — including authenticated pages, staging environments, and localhost — with the same full access as the browser itself.
