Page Info Tab

2 min read

Purpose

  • Snapshot of on-page SEO essentials and quick health signals.

How to Open

  • Popup nav → Page Info.
  • Some pages restrict data (stores, chrome://, file://, gated/SSO pages).

What You See

The tab is split into sections you can jump between: General Info, Headings, Hreflangs, Robots, and Sitemap.

  • Title and meta description with character counts and colour-coded length warnings.
  • URL, canonical, and an indexability verdict. Canonical is labelled self-referencing, canonicalized, or missing.
  • Robots directives from all three places they can hide: the meta tag, the x-robots-tag header, and robots.txt. Each is copyable, and there is a direct link to the live robots.txt.
  • A.I. Bots check. Tests robots.txt against 14 named AI crawlers, including GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and Google-Extended, and shows which are blocked with a running count. This is the fastest way to answer “are we visible to AI search at all”.
  • Core Web Vitals from CrUX field data (LCP, INP, CLS), falling back to the origin summary when there is no page-level data.
  • Word count and a full heading inventory, H1 to H6, with counts and the heading list.
  • Hreflang table, including a back-reference check that flags alternates which do not point back at this page.
  • Sitemap detection with the sitemap URLs found, and a schema presence notice.

Workflow Wins

  • Single-screen triage: indexability, metadata, content length, and vitals without opening DevTools.
  • Heading inventory shows structure issues before you run full audits.
  • Robots + canonical badges clarify conflicts fast.
  • Indexability sanity: Check robots meta/x-robots + canonical together.
  • Content snapshot: Word count + H1/H2 counts to spot thin pages.
  • Internationalization: Hreflang/sitemap presence to confirm alternates published.

Actions

  • Export Page Copy as a text file, or copy it to the clipboard.
  • Copy Markdown, or Download Markdown, to take the page content as a .md file.
  • Export Headings as CSV, or copy them.
  • Copy robots.txt, meta robots, and x-robots values individually.
  • Open the live robots.txt in a new tab.

Tips & Troubleshooting

  • Canonical vs. indexability: a canonical to non-indexable target may still block.
  • Empty data can come from redirects, blocked requests, or restricted pages.
  • If the page changed, reload and reopen the popup to refresh data.
